| summary | Artists depict material properties in paintings, such as transparency, gloss, and roughness, by manipulating pigments of different color and lightness. Observers often perceive these properties even when no attempts were made to create photorealistic images and the depicted objects and scenes are highly simplified, distorted, or caricatured. For example, artists have successfully depicted transparency in simple line drawings, violating basic physical constraints of transparency. Such paintings illustrate that stimuli which misrepresent object properties may still trigger the perception of the corresponding material qualities. Here, we discuss which techniques artists used to depict material properties, and show which principles they followed and which they ignored. Finally, we discuss recent contemporary art installations that used material properties to yield impressions of ‘impossible objects’ by evoking visual experiences that lack readily available external world categories which could underlie the experience |
