Panofsky set out his three strata of meaning in Studies in Iconology in 1939. Feldman's four stages are description, formal analysis, interpretation and judgement. A picture whose values all sit high on the scale is described as high key. An edge that dissolves into its background is called a lost edge.
The last blank names the decision that most separates a painting from an illustration. An illustration keeps every contour findable; a painting chooses where the viewer is allowed to lose the boundary, and that choice is invisible in reproduction at small size.
