In classical painting composition the artist’s licence allowed, even expected, oblique references
to mythical or historical events that gave substance to the art and that a cognoscenti of viewers
would be able to understand as a statement of wit, learning or even profundity. Sometimes, the
artist might overlay that meaning with a more subtlety coded meaning of his own. The famous
book and TV series of 1972 by John Berger titled: Ways of Seeing unlocked this aspect of art for
ordinary viewers who, perhaps for the first time, could begin to appreciate meaning in art.
