Description

The Dehumanization of Art and Other Essays on Art, Culture, and Literature by José Ortega y Gasset explores the intersection of art, culture, and society. Originally published in 1925, this essay grappled with the newness of nonrepresentational art, seeking to make it more understandable to a public confused by its innovations. Ortega y Gasset championed a new cultural politics aimed at transforming society through art. His work is characterized by its depth and erudition, often hiding beneath a surface that appears more spontaneous and informal than it actually is. This collection of essays, including "The Dehumanization of Art" and "Notes on the Novel", offers insight into Ortega's thoughts on modernism, culture, and literature. First published in English in 1968, this expanded edition brings together three essays to provide a comprehensive understanding of Ortega y Gasset's ideas on art, culture, and society.
