'''The Concept of "Medium Specificity"''': Clement Greenberg argued that a painting should be "Flat" because a canvas '''is''' flat. Trying to make a painting look "3D" is a "lie." Analyzing the "Truth of the Materials" (the grain of the wood, the thickness of the paint) is how we understand the "Honesty" of a Modernist work.
