In 'The Dehumanization of Art,' José Ortega y Gasset explores the evolution of modern art and its departure from traditional forms. The author analyzes how avant-garde art seeks to break with the past, focusing on experimentation and abstraction, often resulting in a disconnect with the general public. Ortega y Gasset offers a profound reflection on the nature of art and its role in contemporary society, inviting reflection on the relationship between the artist, the work, and the viewer.
José Ortega y Gasset was a Spanish philosopher and essayist. He worked during the first half of the 20th century while Spain oscillated between monarchy, republicanism and dictatorship. His philosophy has been characterized as a "philosophy of life" that "comprised a long-hidden beginning in a pragmatist metaphysics inspired by William James and with a general method from a realist phenomenology imitating Edmund Husserl, which served both his proto-existentialism and his realist historicism, which has been compared to both Wilhelm Dilthey and Benedetto Croce."
