Art: What is オブジェ and what is not?


Here is how
[Wiktionary](http://ja.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E3%82%AA%E3%83%96%E3%82%B8%E3%82%A7)
defines
[オブジェ](http://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&q=%E3%82%AA%E3%83%96%E3%82%B8%E3%82%A7)
in the context of art:

> 表現の対象となるもの、前衛美術では，幻想的効果のために取り入れられる物体。

My very hesitant attempt at a translation:

> It depends on the represented target, but in avant-garde art it is an object
> that has been transformed in order to produce an illusionary effect.

  1. Could you improve my translation of the Wiktionary definition?
  2. Is the result a good definition of オブジェ?




Here is another, (but similar,) approach... but combining both possible
definitions of "objet" in the original context:

> 表現の対象となるもの、前衛美術では，幻想的効果のために取り入れられる物体。
>
> An expression transformed into an object (used to surreal effect, in avant-
> garde art.)

_Note: "surreal" is used here to demonstrate a different approach for that
part of the translation, though, something having to do more with the word
"illusion" would probably be more accurate._

Also, (and as already noted in the comments on the question,) this part: `It
depends on the represented target,` doesn't seem to be in the original
writing.

As long as the definition fits with the definition of ["objet" in
French](http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Objet), the translation into English
should be fine.
