In the semiotic study of art till today, the main subject has usually been the meaning of art. It is presupposed that the art as work of art has a meaning. A sign or sign-complex, however, comes to function properly and its meaning ton be posited. only through sign behaviors of interpretants This fact shows us that the previous semiotic research is not satisfactory and that we must pay attention to this aspect of art and the relation between works of art and conducts of artists. This important problem has been already suggested by many critics of modern art, who regard the meaning of artists' conducts as more meaningful than that of works of art themselves. But the possibility of objectification of such approach must be examined more accurately.
