(1994) Aspects of metaphor, Dordrecht, Springer.

Visual metaphor

pp. 189-218

That is, there are some visual images that function in the same way that verbal metaphors do and whose point is identified by a viewer in roughly the same way that the point of a verbal metaphor is identified by a reader or a listener.
