"Man creates or discovers objects and destroys them; he endows them with certain qualities and powers, and assigns them values. Objects are the measure of man's ability to restructure his reality according to his needs. We can see objects, touch them, grasp them and perceive them mentally. They are the immediate physical mediators between man and the world, the means by which he perceives and even attempts to understand the working of the universe."
Finkelstein, H. Surrealism and the Crisis of the Object
