Summary: This thesis broaches questions of the essence of art comprehended in Martin
Heidegger’s thought as poiesis, concerning the issue of the truth understood as aletheia – the openness of being. This project aims at accentuating the relationship between the totality of the artistic experience in its unity with the truth, in contrast to the radicalized apprehension in the modern tradition along with its dominance of the concept of consciousness. For this purpose, brings the perspective in which the issue of the truth in its relationship with art is sustained, both historic and philosophically, in the thinking of the german philosopher, restoring its relationship with language – world – and with
finitude – facticity – that embodies human comprehension. For this purpose, we approach some of the relevant aspects of Heideggerian terminology in order tounderstand the hermeneutical turn in his thinking alongside the openness of the experience and interpretation which the goal of expose, to the reader , the constitution of the ontological primacy of the Dasein, a key concept to the exercise of Heidegger's thought about the arts. To follow the trajectory of Heidegger’s thinking, this thesis is rooted in the interpretations of Hans-Georg Gadamer, identifying important questions to the critic and the theory of art, such as the nuances involving the discussions about historical consciousness, aesthetic judgments, aesthetic consciouness, and the selfcertification of art. In this way, review the legacy of modernity and aesthetics from Kant and Hegel, seeking support for the extensibility of heidegger's studies in the field of arts – it’s relationships and new configurations in contemporaneity. To reach this goal, this thesis is supported in the interpretations of Giorgio Agamben, Benedito Nunes, Gerd
Bornheim, Hannah Arendt, Paul Ricoeur, Joseph Kosuth, Hal Foster, Thierry de Duve, Manuel António de Castro, Emmanuel Carneiro Leão, Luiz Camillo Osório, among others, as well in the interpretation of the contributions of Marcel Duchamp, Friedrich Hölderlin and Vicent van Gogh. To fulfill this objective, we analysed the essay The Origin of the work of art and the compilation of texts Holzwege that presents Heidegger's arguments to the study of language. Key-words: Art – poiesis – truth – hermeneutics – language - consciousness – contemporaneity – historicity.
