Please Don't Change The Colour Of Water

"Being an artist means ceasing to take seriously that very serious person we are when we are not an artist."
Jose Ortega y Gasset

I read the above sentence today in a book. I thought it would make more sense if it had said: "Being a serious person means ceasing to take seriously that artist we are when we are not a serious person."

What do you think?

And is Modern Art ironic or sincere?

This is also what Ortega y Gasset said in the middle of the 20th Century:

"If we now briefly consider the question: What type of life reveals itself in this attack on past art? we come upon a strange and stirring fact. To assail all previous art, what else can it mean than to turn against Art itself? For what is art, concretely speaking, if not such art as has been made up to now? <...>in the case of art, the contradiction between love and hatred for one and the same thing <...> To look for fiction as fiction - which, we have said, modern art does - is a proposition that cannot be executed except with one's tongue in one's cheek. <...> Thanks to this suicidal gesture art continues to be art, its self-negation miraculously bringing about its preservation and triumph."
