The window is a surface that creates a distance to what is seen. I can’t reach through the window and touch, turn and grasp the shrub. The viewers also stand in front of the painting. They call up viewing habits, interpret or interpret, but they cannot reach into the screen. You are looking into an artificially created window of the painter. The picture window can never be fully understood. It comes from one person and then we find overlaps. These depend on our experience and are very different.
