The formal science of parthood relationsis mereology. Thus, it is natural to attempt to construct a mereological account of the structure ofworks of the visual arts. However, I argue in this paper that such a program is headed for failure.There are various reasons for this, perhaps the more interesting being that one deals with parallelpictorial worlds.   ER -
