ABSTRACT

Heinrich Heine, who is regarded as a representative of Vormärz, developed a new perspective from which to see art. According to his new understanding of aesthetics, art is neither something given for us, nor something past for us, but is in a totally historical spot, where a sort of reconceptualization is always required for art. Since then, art was no longer perceived as the traditional form of beauty that is judged on its disinterestedness, but as a living medium that attempts to apprehend its revolutionary foundations in the permanent state of its struggle for existence, where the new technique seeks its holy reconciliation with the new age. Although Christian spiritualism and the idea of art in Goethe’s epoch became unproductive, these exclusive ideas functioned as the Ancien Régime that obstructs the realization of technique for the new art and life. Heine’s defense of the oldest program of sensualism against its destroyer was the most significant attempt of the time to rescue the “signature of the word,” which means that art is being asked to regenerate the oldest liberating technique and the producing power of it.
