Isn't it kind of a matter of taste, and effect? The 
"through-the-window" effect of glass has always intrigued me; the 
viewer has to work a little harder to get inside the picture, and 
that "sweat" makes the reward of looking that much sweeter. A design 
prof of mine likened it to placing the most sumptuous piece of 
fabric, or sensuously weathered chunk of driftwood, in a box with a 
glass top. You could see it, maybe smell it, but not TOUCH it. 
Glorious erotic frustration . . .
