 The notion of exemplification allows Goodman to offer his theory of expression. More generally, it allows him to indicate an important source of meaning in addition to denotation. Most works of music, dance, and architecture, as well as abstract paintings, do not represent anything at all. Yet, Goodman can show how, next to artworks’ representational powers we must recognize, as a central and pervasive form of symbolization in art, the capacity for artworks to call attention to some of their features, that is, to exemplify them.
