Heidegger said, "the essence of art, is the setting-itself- into- work of truth". Also he thought the essence of art is from work. The " work" which has mentioned in the whole article is not means the art object, it is work of art. Here he emphasizes the "work'' and ignores the ''creator''. For a work, the creator which is like a media of production is not important, the core is the work itself. That reminds me the book Death of Author. There is a thought that the name of the writer in a article or book is not important, because it has no effect for the content, so for some extents, the writer is dead. Meanwhile, in Heidegger's book, work includes literary, so the idea in Death of Author supports Heidegger's opinion. If the creator is not important for an article, the important thing is its truth of article itself. The " work" which has mentioned in the whole article is not means the art object, it is work of art.
About the "truth", it is not equal with the "corresponding theories of truth", and it also different with mimesis. As the example of Van Gogh's painting in the article. The peasant's shoes appears in his painting; for the fact of shoes have been painted, is a mimetic display without substantive thing shows on the shoes. For this angle to judge, there is no "truth" . However, for another angle, in the painting, the space and the shoes indicates the relationship as shoes essence in the objective world. So here exists the "truth". The truth is not like the thing I saw through my eyes, but the thing reflects in the meaning of philosophy.
