Meant to create as an artist (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

manet

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

'meant to create' is the wordplay.
'to create' indicates an anagram.
'meant' anagrammed gives 'MANET'.

'as an' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for manet that I've seen before include "Painter of Le Dejeuner sur l'herbe, d. 1883" , "French painter" , "Edouard ---, pre-impressionist" , "Edouard -- (artist)" , "artistic individual" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
