Characteristics of Heidegger's Philosophy of Art : A Critical Review of its Meaning and Significance

As is well known, Martin Heidegger, in The Origin of the Work of the Art, defines the art as the open place of happening of truth. Hence, Heidegger uses the concept of the art only as a strictly defined philosophical term, while uses the concept of the work as a term referring an art in action. Previous studies about Heidegger's art theory had tendencies to concentrate on the essence of Heidegger's own philosophical project. Still these perspectives cannot reveal his philosophy of art as a whole picture. Many of hidden hints of The Origin of the Work of the Art are not dealt with yet. The purpose of this article is, with the approval of basic premises of Heidegger's philosophy of art, to review his theory of art with distant observation, and to elucidate his theory with its own limitations. Heidegger's concept of the work highly depends on the concept of techne understood as Wissen. In this characteristic feature, on Heidegger, the work stands on the participation of both creator(artist) and preserver(audience). This characteristic also reveals a principal public character of the work. Furthermore, on Heidegger, the work can be the great artwork only when there is a objectness which means that be the object of the reading of meaning, and only then these artworks can have the possibility as the open place of happening of truth. In this reason, Heidegger strictly narrows the boundary of the artwork. In this article, I suggest that, specially in the plastic art, the objectness come into view with Gestalt as a basic condition of the artwork.
