Time: The Forgotten Dimension of Art
Reply to Derek Allan
Hi everyone,

The reason behind the so colled endurance or how (great) art "lives on", in my opinion, lies in the capacity of an artwork to continually originate a time of its own; rather than transcending time by letting free from an origin as one would tend to think in terms of a linear understanding of time.

Though it's been some years now, I'd tried to handle the issue in my graduate studies from a Heidegerrean point of view. Not in the specific framework of "timelessness of the work of art" in Gadamer's words, but from rather an ontological perspective, or about what makes up the colors of the rainbow, if I can say so. You can check it here.
