2.1514 So a picture, conceived in this way, also includes the pictorial
relationship, which makes it into a picture.
2.1515 These correlations are, as it were, the feelers of the picture's
elements, with which the picture touches reality.
2.16 If a fact is to be a picture, it must have something in common with
what it depicts.
2.161 There must be something identical in a picture and what it depicts,
to enable the one to be a picture of the other at all.
2.17 What a picture must have in common with reality, in order to be able
to depict it--correctly or incorrectly--in the way that it does, is its
pictorial form.
2.171 A picture can depict any reality whose form it has. A spatial picture
can depict anything spatial, a coloured one anything coloured, etc.
2.172 A picture cannot, however, depict its pictorial form: it displays it.
2.173 A picture represents its subject from a position outside it. (Its
standpoint is its representational form.) That is why a picture represents
its subject correctly or incorrectly.
2.174 A picture cannot, however, place itself outside its representational
form.
2.18 What any picture, of whatever form, must have in common with reality,
in order to be able to depict it--correctly or incorrectly--in any way at
all, is logical form, i.e. the form of reality.
2.181 A picture whose pictorial form is logical form is called a logical
picture.
