Perhaps some styles of painting are more sensitive to cropping than

with Hofmann's at one extreme -- since the rectangular edges of his

William suggests that some special visual skill is necessary to
discern the
differences (he's got it -- I don't)-- but there's no need to
speculate about
that skill -- it can be tested!
It could one more exercise in my "Miller test" for aesthetic
discernment:
*take the jpg image of a painting and use various computer tools to
expand and
shrink it's borders -- then ask the viewer to identify the original
from 5 or
6 alternatives.
