Definitions

The state of being an object

Examples

“As a result objects that "should" dominate in Sekiguchi's work instead look strangely anomalous, as if the painter found these isolated things--steaks cut from an animal, an eye separate from the rest of a human figure--to be almost funny in their assertive objectness.”

“Like much of the work, these are surrounded by painted frames that are part of the overall composition and underscore the objectness of the artwork.”
