Abstract

According to Adorno, in art process there are at least two subjects including the artist and the collective subject. Artistic language is the translation of natural language, and artists are the agents of natural things. Only those artists who can successfully translate the language of things into the language of art can be regarded as genius. Artists are producers, but art production has certain freedom and equality. The collective subject is the initiator of the process of artistic expression, for which the artist speaks. The relationship between collective subject and artist shows that subject is the agent of object. Subject and object are the intermediaries of each other. Artistic activities embody the equal relationship between subject and object.
