Passage Summary: When looking at art, we should only care about what is actually there in front of us, not outside factors; this implies symbols do not matter but the direct experience does.

Conclusion: A painting's symbolism is not aesthetically relevant, but its direct presentation to experience is.

Reasoning: Only the intrinsic properties of a work of art should be considered, while extrinsic properties are irrelevant to aesthetic interactions.

Analysis: The author introduces two sets of terms: 'intrinsic vs. extrinsic' and 'direct presentation vs. symbolism.' The premises establish that we should only care about intrinsic properties, and the conclusion jumps to the claim that we should only care about direct presentation. There is a clear logical gap here. To guarantee this conclusion follows, we need an assumption that explicitly bridges these categories. Look for an answer that identifies symbolism as an extrinsic property or direct presentation as an intrinsic one.
