«La deshumanización del arte y otros ensayos de estética» is a collection of essays on aesthetics by José Ortega y Gasset, in paperback.
Ortega y Gasset reflects on modern art and its break with traditional representation. The dehumanization of art is presented as a feature of the avant-garde: the work focuses on itself and on formal experimentation. He also analyses the social function of art and its relationship with contemporary culture.

For readers interested in philosophy, aesthetics and art theory, especially Ortega y Gasset's thought on the avant-garde.
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."
