Abstract
Starting from the interaction between reality as appearance, and its pictorial representation, the author considers some of the concepts of Ernst Gombrich’s psychological-representational theory. We see in it an attempt to understand the problems of the artist when he tries to give concrete form to that which we call an idea and which is realised in the creative act or in the image. Gombrich’s theory presupposes a distancing which is projected from the creator to the observer. The latter not only accepts what he is offered, moreover he extrapolates the creative act since it always implies and act of simulation.
