    What is a Picture?: Depiction, Realism, Abstraction.Michael Newall - 2010 - New York: Palgrave-Macmillan.
    Using an approach deeply informed by philosophy of art, art history and perceptual psychology, this book places seeing at the centre of an original theory of pictorial representation and explores the ramifications such a theory has for the visual arts.

    Is Seeing-In a Transparency Effect?Michael Newall - 2015 - British Journal of Aesthetics 55 (2):131-156.
    Philosophers of art use the term ‘seeing-in’ to describe an important part of our experience of pictures: we often ‘see’ a picture’s subject matter ‘in’ its surface. This paper proposes that seeing-in is illuminated by a perceptual phenomenon that has received extensive attention in perceptual psychology: the perception of transparency. It is generally accepted that transparency perception is governed by laws of ‘scission’. I argue that some instances of seeing-in can be straightforwardly understood as a kind of transparency effect, and (...)

  3. Pictorial experience and seeing.Michael Newall - 2009 - British Journal of Aesthetics 49 (2):129-141.
    This paper proposes that pictorial experience, the experience that pictures give rise to when we understand them, involves the non-veridical experience of seeing the picture's subject matter. Using phenomenological analysis and material from philosophy of mind and perceptual psychology, it argues that both pictorial experience lacking awareness of the picture surface, such as illusion, and pictorial experience that includes this awareness, i.e. seeing-in, should be understood in this way.

    Pictures, colour and resemblance.Michael Newall - 2006 - Philosophical Quarterly 56 (225):587–595.
    Resemblances between colour pictures and their subject-matter can be identified. I use insights from perceptual psychology to develop a description of these shared colour properties. While resemblances do exist, they do not support resemblance theories of depiction. Instead, the character of these resemblances is determined by the construction of our visual system, and is not necessary for depiction. These results support a theory of depiction which holds that our abilities of visual recognition are crucial to our ability to understand pictures.

    Painting and Philosophy.Michael Newall - 2014 - Philosophy Compass 9 (4):225-237.
    This article is primarily concerned with the philosophical problems that arise out of a consideration of painting. By painting I mean of course not any kind of application of paint to a surface – house painting for instance – but painting as an art, to use Richard Wollheim's phrase. Since Plato, philosophy has intermittently been concerned with these problems, and over the past 30 years, painting has come under a new focus as philosophy of art has increasingly turned its attention (...)

    A Philosophy of the Art School.Michael Newall - 2018 - New York: Routledge.
    *Winner of the American Society for Aesthetics 2019 Outstanding Monograph Prize* Until now, research on art schools has been largely occupied with the facts of particular schools and teachers. This book presents a philosophical account of the underlying practices and ideas that have come to shape contemporary art school teaching in the UK, US and Europe. It analyses two models that, hidden beneath the diversity of contemporary artist training, have come to dominate art schools. The first of these is essentially (...)

    Double Portraiture.Eleen M. Deprez & Michael Newall - 2019 - In Hans Maes (ed.), Portraits and Philosophy. New York, NY: Routledge. pp. 81-96.
    This chapter examines the nature and artistic quality of double portraits. Double portraiture poses unexpected and interesting challenges to existing philosophical accounts of portraiture. We give an account of double portraiture as involving the representation of a significant relationship between two subjects, and an expression of its character. The account argues that a picture with two single portraits does not necessarily make a double portrait, and that a double portrait does not have to contain two single portraits. We then show (...)

  11. Art and the Approval of Nature: Philosophical Reflections on Tom Roberts, Holiday Sketch at Coogee (1888).Michael John Newall - 2019 - Curator: The Museum Journal 62 (1):53-60.
    This paper, based on a talk given at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, is presented as an example of philosophy done in an art gallery. Its subject is Tom Roberts’ painting Holiday Sketch at Coogee (1888), and as well as responding directly to the painting in the environment of the gallery, it draws on the author's memories of seeing that painting in other times and places. It draws on these personal experiences to relate Roberts’ painting to a controversial (...)

    A Study in brown.Michael Newall - 2022 - Synthese 200 (6):1-20.
    Philosophers rarely write in an extended way about particular colors. So, why write about brown? We shall see that an investigation of brown unsettles some established ideas about color in significant ways. In particular, I will (i) explore reasons for thinking that brown is an elementary color, (ii) reassess attitudes in color science that are taken to rule that possibility out, and (iii) present a new reason for rejecting most forms of color realism.
