A work of art - a thing in itself, and if anyone thinks that he understands what a work of art, it is simply not aware of their misunderstanding.
The artist understands his work no more than a spectator.
The fact that a work of art is clear - is not art. Understanding available ideographic rather than artistic component.

What does "work of art - a thing in itself"? Why can not "understand" a work of art? How else do you propose to comprehend a work of art. We grasp it by means of thinking (Other notable way I do not know). And "understanding" - is a component of thinking (one of its constituent processes). "Understanding the works of art" must be regarded as process, and then everything will fall into place. If you perceive the content of works of art as a spiritual phenomena, then you hereby fully comprehended it. This is the idea of his understanding.
