About Transparency
“Transparency” comes from architectural conception which has two kinds: physical and phenomenal. The physical transparency refers to the perspective effect resulted from material, and the phenomenal transparency could be taken as the polysemia drew from the multiple layers and potential orders in a piece of painting. The physical transparency means comparatively better depth of field, right quality of materials, attention on utilization of light, and simple or few ways of reading. While the phenomenal transparency is shallow depth of field, parallel perspective, stress on the orders and organizing structure of the painting and multiple ways of reading.
