Abstract

GUTIERREZ-POZO, Antonio. ARTISTIC CREATION AS DEREALIZATION. NOVELTY AND VIRTUALITY IN THE AESTHETIC THOUGHT OF ORTEGA Y GASSET. Univ. philos. [online]. 2017, vol.34, n.68, pp.263-284. ISSN 0120-5323.  https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.uph34-68.cado.

This article shows how the Avant-Garde Artist at the beginning of the 20th century represents for Ortega y Gasset above all a new artistic sensibility: the tendency to dehumanize art. This dehumanized art is a reaction against the popular romantic and naturalistic art. For this, the new art is unpopular. But this is what defines art: to dehumanize, to derealize. The essence of art is derealization, i. e., destruction of reality. This means that aesthetic object for Ortega is a metaphorical object, i. e., an irreality or virtuality. This derealized art involves the escape of reality. Art is a world out of communication with reality because is an irreality. But precisely because art is virtuality, art can increase world.

Keywords : Ortega y Gasset; art; derealization; creation; novelty; virtuality; metaphor.
