# Inflected and Uninflected Experience of Pictures **Opening (not a real abstract):** 1. Introduction: Inflected Versus Uninflected Seeing-In One big question about pictures is how we perceive them: what perceptual state we are in when we see a depicted object in the picture surface. Following Richard Wollheim, I will call the experience of seeing something in a picture seeing-in (Wollheim 1980, 1987, 1998). The question about the nature of seeing-in is crucial enough, but it has also been suggested that seeing-in may play an important role in understanding what pictures are: pictures are those objects in the face of which ‘suitably informed’ perceivers are supposed to have a seeing-in experience (Wollheim 1987, 1998). I will remain neutral about whether we can use seeing-in to define what pictures are. But my concern in this chapter is not just the nature of seeingin, but mainly the distinction between two different kinds of picture **Authors:** [[BENCE NANAY]]
