Summary/Abstract: The aim of this essay is to offer a comparative analysis of different works of art through an approach inspired by Martin Heidegger’s “The Origin of the Work of Art”, making use of his concepts of logos, hen panta, and aletheia presented in his book “Early Greek Thinking”. In order to do this, I will start with a discussion of the art of dance in ballet and painting, applying the already mentioned Heideggerian concepts. The analysis proceeds with a painting described in Ernesto Sabato’s book “The Tunnel” then moves to dance as immortalised in “L’Étoile” painting by Edgar Degas and ends with a discussion of dance on scene, “Giselle”.
