In this study, I want to find the meaning of art by revealing the common points of art in two books: Heidegger's The origin of the work of art and Heejae You's An outline of art. This is maybe not only two men's view but also the very basic concept of general art. This study is divided by three main parts. First, "How are language and thought connected?" and "How could the meaning of art be considered through this concept." Heidegger insists that language is the important medium that determines thought of 'being itself', not just a way of conversation. In An outline of art, Heejae You presents similar concepts. Second is the connection between Heidegger's "Art is basically a dichtung" and An outline of art's view. Dichtung is not simply reading the meaning of text or image, but also incorporates speculation about the part without being thought. Third, Heejae You's corresponding point about Heidegger's 'das besinnliche Wissen'. The main study finding is the commonness between Eastern and Western art by comparing Heidegger's art view and Heejae You's art view, who studied the ancient China's overall literature.
