ABSTRACT

This essay considers Kierkegaard's approach to the artist's metamorphosis in his little essay, The Crisis and A Crisis in the Life of an Actress dedicated to Johanne Luise Pätges Heiberg, a famous Danish actress. In this essay, Kierkegaard made an attempt to describe wholly psychologically and esthetically on two metamorphoses in the relation to time. This is a conspicuous analysis of the nature of artistic genius and of artistic genius at work. At the same time Kierkegaard's insights in it are directed to all human life, and not just to one part of it. Seeking for the essential value of art in the artist's inwardness without dividing art into life, this is the characteristics of Kierkegaard's anthropological perspective. An artist becomes an art itself and the boundaries of daily life and arts are broken up, so that modern art is entangled with life more and more. In order to interpret this modern art, we must have anthropological concern piercing human existence in the middle of it. Kierkegaard's little essay gives evidence of understanding art correlating with the above necessity.
