Response of Heidegger Reframed

     I am agree with that" The work that art does is categorically not the object- painting, sculpture, drawing, print and so on" For Heidegger, the essence of art is a mode of creating an open region in which truth emerges that we have come to call an art work. This evaluation also holds for musical and poetical works." For me, art is a feeling and an emotion which artist tries to evaluate through there art works, since creating is what artist good at. The true of the art is what artist try to say or express. 
     Heidegger's theory reminds me of the famous painting- "The Treachey of Images" which is painted Rene Magritte. The pipe is showed on the picture, but below the pipe is the sentence written by Magritte "Ceci 'est pas une pipe." , which is "This is not a pipe" Frankly, it is not a pipe, if we dig in the truth of the image. This is a paper with a pipe on it. But people seen this picture as a pipe since they jump to the conclusion of the art and forget that the paper, the ink and even the words are nothing but the media, which sometimes misleads the meaning and purpose of the art. The pipe is a trick. The artist drew the pipe but don't want people take it as a pipe, which is only a bridge for the artist and the audience.
