Figurative
“Anybody can look at a pretty girl and see a pretty girl. An artist can look at a pretty girl and see the old woman she will become. A better artist can look at an old woman and see the pretty girl that she used to be. But a great artist–a master–can look at an old woman, portray her exactly as she is and force the viewer to see the pretty girl she used to be . . . and more than that, he can make anyone with the sensitivity of an armadillo …. see that this lovely young girl is still alive, not old and ugly at all, but simply imprisoned inside her ruined body.” ― Robert A. Heinlein, Stranger in a Strange Land
