The 16th - 18th Century Dutch still life painter worked to a very specific set of rules in the way the a picture had to be assembled. After the Golden Age of Dutch painting was replaced by the Impressionists, the classic still life changed forever.
"New Dutch" takes some of the elements from the classic approach but uses them in a stripped down, simplified manner. This image is one of my attempts at "New Dutch". The round edges that are broken by a straight line is still there, but the "pivot point", the table edge and the material hanging over the edge of the table are gone.
