"The Still Life as a Personal Object: a Note on Heidegger and Van Gogh"[1] (1968) is an essay by Meyer Schapiro on the Van Gogh painting A Pair of Shoes as it was featured in The Origin of the Work of Art by German philosopher Martin Heidegger.
Schapiro’s article caused a stir and Jacques Derrida responded to the controversy at length in his book The Truth in Painting, where he concludes: “Schapiro, insouciant, lays a trap for Heidegger. He already suspects the ‘error,’ ‘projection,’ ‘imagination’ in Heidegger’s text.”[2]
