In this study, Alan Paskow asks why fictional characters matter to us and how they emotionally affect us. He applies these questions to painting, demonstrating that certain paintings beckon us to view their contents as real. As emblematic of the fundamental concerns of our lives, paintings, he argues, are not simply in our heads but in our world.
