In the history of modern painting, there has been a hidden thread revolving around the concept of the ‘thing’. The study attempts to explore this thread through Heidegger’s aesthetics of truth. In his essay The Origin of the Work of Art, Heidegger highlights the conflict between the earth and the world within a work of art, which is the basis for the emergence of truth in existence. He argues that the essence of a work of art lies in its ability to embody the truth of existence within itself. Starting from this point, this paper delves into the examination of objects in artworks, extending to an analysis of forms in modern painting history as well as objects as a key component of art. In the history of modern painting, the form construction direction initiated by Cezanne gradually took a leading role. However, with the advent of abstract art, the materiality of objects began to emerge and finally manifested itself. This development marked the end of the direction of form construction in modern painting and paved the way for the exploration of material research, thus opening up the history of contemporary art. Overall, Heidegger's aesthetics of truth can be seen as a valuable tool for understanding the role of objects in art and their relationship to the truth of existence. By examining the evolution of form and materiality in modern painting, we can gain a deeper appreciation for the complexity and richness of artistic expression.
