In this paper, I want to show that at least two of the three reasons Wollheim pro- vides in order to show that Jasper Johns’ Flag is not the object of a proper seeing-in experience are correct.

Abstract
In this paper, I want to show that at least two of the three reasons Wollheim pro- vides in order to show that Jasper Johns’ Flag is not the object of a proper seeing-in experience are correct. By means of the very same reasons, one may also show that some other paintings by Johns that are in the vicinity of Flag are instead the objects of a proper seeing-in experience. Since that experience is for Wollheim the mark of pictoriality, this exploration once more shows what the limits of depiction.
