Object #2 is a ‘painting’, in the sense that it is a framed canvas hanging on the wall. But it is not quite a ‘painting’ as most people are used to experience it. Artist doesn’t use any components normally recognizable in painting: color, brushstroke, perspective. There is no image!

White plain canvas, thin frame, typography, simple font remind me of typed piece of paper. Thus the painter is turned into writer.
