Abstract

"Intuition" is one of the most salubrious and mysterious parades of human being religious life. Recognition of essence and its spirit, value of knowledge, evaluation of pureness from spurious among critique masses of theories, brought concerns to many thinkers and intellectuals. An artwork becomes unique and everlasting when from one hand, rooted in transcendent and sensual intuition of the artist and from other hand through the understanding of its addressees. The "intuition" reveals the truth in the mind of artist and finally the truth of the artwork. The "intuition" is one of the most fundamental concepts of Immanuel Kant’s philosophy and to the extent of an infrastructure; it plays a key role in Kant’s knowledge system. Kant emphasizes on sensual intuition and put the subjectivity as the main theme of his work and this attitude has been instrumental in the formation of the great artworks and schools in the era of modernism and even postmodernism. In review of artworks, we observe the presence of intuition in triangle of artistic work, artist and addressee. In this article we intend to determine the intuition status in creation of artworks and based on Kant’s first critique (critique of pure reason) to explain and emphasize its place in artworks. This paper is based on hypothesis that artworks output of disposure and intuition, and artist has created an art by using his own unique act of mind such as precedence intuition. Based on Kant’s first critique the intuition is nothing but, the direct understanding of the meaning that exists at the present and has essential role in Kant’s intuition of art that along with artist’s ability will communicate with audience. This paper has been emphasized and compared the descriptive analytical methods by using books and articles.
