| Abstract: | Summary Pictorial communication of shape and form is not simply a learned visual language. Whatever processes of learning, if any,
underly our ability to perceive represented surfaces’ edges-without which the communication of shape is impossible-in response
to outline drawings, probably occurs very early in life in consequence of our normal commerce with spatial objects. Although
this probability makes the problems of“learning to see pictures”relatively inaccessible, it simplifies the study of the rules
which govern edge- and surface-perception in pictures. The applicability of such rules depends, eventually, on knowing
