here are a few examples of what Wollheim might have termed the two extremes of pictorial representation (incidentally, if i understand Wollheim correctly, neither of these two extremes would be considered art).
(1) "all content and no surface" or "all subject (object) and no medium"
a. Larry Charles, Art Rules
b. Julian Beever, Rembrandt
(2) "all surface and no content" or "all medium and no subject (object)"
c. Ad Reinhardt, Abstract Painting No. 5
d. Mark Rothko, Untitled/Darkness over Light
