| Artworks: works of art are human creations that are not directly focussed on the maintenance of life functions, but are intended to open the possibility for a realization that is freed from life-world constraints and purposes. At the same time, works of art should allow us to look at these constraints. In the modern world, works of art escape direct intelligibility to the extent that understanding itself has increasingly become a necessity of the everyday world. See also aesthetics, art, critique, society, history, enlightenment, recognition._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Hans-Georg Gadamer on Artworks - Dictionary of Arguments
I 164 Work of Art/Gadamer: What we mean by "representation" is (...) a universal ontological structural moment of the aesthetic, a process of being and not an process of experience that occurs at the moment of artistic creation and is only repeated by the receiving mind. At the output of the universal sense of I 165 play, we had seen the ontological meaning of representation in that "reproduction" is the original mode of being of the original art itself. >Play/Gadamer, >Representation/Gadamer. (...) also the image and the statuary arts as a whole [are] ontologically seen from the same mode of being (...). The specific presence of the work of art is a coming-to-representation of being. >Aesthetics, >Aesthetics/Gadamer, >Art, >Art/Gadamer._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
