Meant to become an artist (5)

I believe the answer is:

manet

'an artist' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'meant to become' is the wordplay.
'to become' indicates an anagram.
'meant' is an anagram of 'MANET'.

(Other definitions for manet that I've seen before include "French painter" , "Olympia painter" , "Edouard - - (painter)" , "artistic individual" , "Edouard -- (artist)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
