Summary
Art is the historical happening of truth in which entities are unconcealed to us by means of a work of art. According to Heidegger, in order to understand art, we cannot take our cue from the aesthetic tradition; rather, we must analyze art in terms of its relation to truth and ontology. On his view, it is only within this framework that one can hope to give a proper account of three important aspects of art, viz., its essence, creation, and appreciation.
