Where do we find Heidegger speaking about "the relationship

Are these relationships considered in the 1600 words that he
devotes to the
discussion of Van Gogh's shoes, or in his subsequent discussion of an
unidentified Greek temple ?
Heidegger tells us that "art is the becoming and happening of
truth" -- so
aren't you just a little disconcerted, Saul, when the "truth" that he
recognizes in the Van Gogh painting is probably not there at all ?
And do you really think that "the god is present" in every Greek
temple, as
Heidegger tells us ?
Builders may have intended that divinity be present in every
church/temple
that was ever made -- but isn't there an important difference
between certain
remarkable structures (like Chartres) ... and all the rest? And,
since
Heidegger likes to contemplate how words are commonly used --
hasn't the the
word "art" been usually chosen to
memorialize the importance of that difference ?
BTW, Saul, might you present an example of an image that cannot be
"complex and represent a knowing - a source of self reflective
experience"

I'm not speaking of just the literary narrative that one can
attribute to
aimage - I'm talking about the relationship between form, subject,
style,materiality, composition, point of view, scale, aesthetics,
ethics,
rhetoric,conception, etc.
to say that something is a mere image does not mean you can not have
associations - means that they are not complex and do not represent
a knowing-
a source of self reflective experience
