COMPLETE PICTORIAL REALISM, in which all parts are realistically
represented (see § 10).
SEMI-PICTORIAL REALISM, in which the Back-ground is reduced to
a flat-tint, while all the remaining parts are realistically
represented (see § 11).
DECORATIVE REALISM, in which the chief Feature (_only_)
is realistically represented, and all the other parts are
reduced to conventional renderings (see § 12).
COMPLETE CONVENTIONALISM, in which all parts are reduced to
conventional renderings (see Conventionalism).
Inasmuch as there is some realistic part remaining in each of the
first three methods--these are classified under the heading of
REALISM.
(ii) According to the Degree in which color, gradation, or shading, is
sacrificed, in consequence of the limited Means at the disposal of the
Artist; resulting in the gradual departure from Realism to the most
severe Conventionalism. The reduction is applied to all parts of the
work. This is a scale of reduction in _Degree_. There are two
Varieties in each degree; and they are marked with italic letters.
