Super Short Summary

In The Dehumanization of Art and Other Essays on Art, Culture and Literature, José Ortega y Gasset explores the evolution of modern art and its abstract nature. He argues that this art form intentionally distances itself from human subjectivity, challenging audiences to engage differently with art, culture, and literature, emphasizing interpretation over traditional aesthetic values.
