Which suggests that while the pictorial instantiation of the pipe is not the pipe qua a special implement for smoking, it still is, in a sense, the unmistakable depiction of a pipe, as its impression corresponds with the one we get while observing a tangible pipe: oh, this is a pipe! That pipe in the studio, under those particular circumstances, is also not a pipe in the sense of an object that is being used to smoke tobacco, because the painter assigns to it an entirely new role without necessarily rendering obsolete its previous one: the new role of a still nature, a model whose purpose is to be observed and the impression of which is to be expressed as a form within the painting and then be altered anew by the inclusion of the caption which introduces the paradox discussed herein.
