Abstract:

Modern art has lost its traditional determining factors and has not yet obtained new ones, which makes modern works of art often seem strange and even absurd; this situation has repeatedly evoked reflections concerning the nature of art. Nietzsche opened a path to the original state of life through art criticism from the modern perspective by responding to the question regarding the nature of modern art. Nietzsche believed that, in the process of creating art, the artist discarded their identity as a “subject”, dissolved the world structure of subject-object, and entered the original level of life in order to encounter the “nothingness” directly and to feel the abundance of vitality in order to gain the intoxicating experience of Dionysus. Nietzsche pointed out that it was in this very process that the experience of Dionysus was able to enter the work of art and to manifest itself as the nature of art.
