Summary/Abstract: In this study I would like to point out that the work of art is never a passing thing, ephemeral, but more like a constantly self-renewing intellectual mediator, which somehow hides its own meaning, but meanwhile it’s able to reveal it anytime in the process of collaboration with the work of art. The truth of work of art doesn’t necessarily have to be in correlation with reality. The picture is not the representation of ordinary things, but the showing of things from a different perspective, in a truer way. The privilege of the work of art stands in being able to always go beyond itself. In the artistic game the external reality itself ceases to exist, and everything that shows up in front of us is true and veritable in the same time.
