Abstract
A semantic process objectifies one function through which one content is grasped in and through another by human mind. A sign is a medium to lead this process in a definite direction. A work of art can also become such a medium. In case of a work of art, however, because of its artistic illusionality, the general character of which is indicated by Dr. S. Langer, only its perceptual image, not a thing but a particular perceptual phenomenon, is presented and becomes an object of consciousness. And only when variously related with many ideas and is signified, it is prescribed as one particular phase of something ideal and make it possible to comprehend something in relation to the whole. This is the structure of the semantic process that proceeds in the comprehension of the work of art whose formative quality makes it possible to signify something.
