"These essays were originally read at the University of Toronto as the Alexander Lectures for 1982. However unprofessional and even deplorable they will appear to some scholars, they may be of interest to the common reader and intelligent children. each is itself a disarray of perceptions and conjunctions in which the unlikelihood of harmony vies with the promise of coherence in the titles.
My instigation to look hard at still life came from Carl Nordenfalk's 'VanGogh and Literature,' particularly his analysis of Still Life with Onions, which I have taken as a model." ('A Remark Beforehand')
