Abstract

According to Heidegger, it is the momentum of artistic work — the "That" of the created being that removes people from mediocrity and pushes them into the historic suspense where they coexist with the essence of truth. This paper discusses the mediocre presence form of human faced with artistic works through the way that "people understand things" in the Origin of the Work of Art. It analyzes the object being, work being and created being taking "knowing" as the clue and explores how people remove the mediocrity of "art". Reflecting on and criticizing the relationship between art works and people, this paper points out the mediocrity of art that lacks the action of thinking, blindly obeying words and being superficial to experience makes people lose the possibility of resonating with the flow of accumulation and the enlightening and shining of truth.
