"""Andrei Pop's Fregean Realism is an innovative application of Frege's accounts of sense, reference, and assertion to pictorial meaning, providing a perspective from which it is possible to appreciate overlooked points of connection between rival accounts of the experience of depiction. Pop brings his Platonist realism to bear on a wide range of issues central to art and its history: the nature of allegory, of symbolism, of sculptural form, of aesthetic properties, and of pictorial truth and knowledge. The joint attention paid to demanding texts in the history of early analytic philosophy and European art history is both enlivening and revealing."" --Fred Rush, University of Notre Dame"
