Visual abstraction enables us to survive in complex visual environments by augmenting critical features with minimal elements - words. In this chapter, we explore how culture and aesthetics impact visual abstraction. Based on everyday life experience and lab experiments, we found that the factors of culture, attention, purpose and aesthetics can help reduce visual communication to a minimal footprint. As we saw with the hollow effect, the more familiar we are with an object, the less information we need to describe it. The Image-Word Mapping Model we have discussed allows us to work toward a general framework of visual abstraction in two directions, images to words and words to images. In this chapter, we present a general framework along with some of the case studies we have undertaken within it. These studies involve exploration into multi-resolution, symbol-number, semantic differentiation, analogical, and cultural emblematization aspects of facial features.
