There is an essay about Dutch still life (the title is the world as object)
Consider the Dutch still life: the object is never alone, and never privileged: it is merely there, among many others, painted between one function and another, participating in the disorder of the movements which have picked it up, put it down-in a word, utilized. There are objects whenever you look, on the tables, the walls, the floor: pots, pitchers overturned...All this is man's space: in it he measures himself and determines his humanity, starting from the memory of his gestures: his chronos is covered by functions, there is no authority in his life but one inprints upon the inert by shaping and manipulating it.
The universe of fabrication obviously excludes terror, as it excludes style. The concern of Dutch painters is not to rid the object of its qualities in order to liberate its essence but, quite the contrary, to accumulate the secondary vibrations of appearance, for what must be incorporated into human space are layers of air, surfaces, and not forms or ideas.
