The interpretation of the work of art in the hermeneutics of Hans-Georg Gadamer knows all its richness only from that the recreative experience. The play apperars in fact as the model on which Gadamer relies to make understand the content of truth of the art. The experience lived in contemplating a work of art is a hermeneutical experience. The aim here is to remind that, in Gadamer, both recreative and aesthetic consciousness are closely linked in the search for the meaning of truth in the artistic work.
