Book Description: Museum of Modern Art, New York, 1984. Paperback. Book Condition: Fine. 0870702912 Very nice clean copy. Text free of underlining, writing and highlighting. 208 PAGES, 117 PLATES (34 IN COLOR), 124 REFERENCE ILLUSTRATIONS. GIORGIO DE CHIRICO, a painter born in Greece of Italian parents and trained in Athens and Munich, arrived in Paris in 1911. In this center of avant-garde effervescence, he almost immediately attracted the attention of Guillaume Apollinaire and came to know many of the leaders of the new modernist painting. De Chirico took a very private path through the new possibilities, inventing a "Metaphysical" symbolism with dreamlike fantasies of deserted piazzas, strange architectures, and classical monuments seen from uneasy perspectives: a poetry new to painting was achieved through juxtaposing commonplace objects in enigmatic contexts. From 1911 to 1917, first in Paris and then in Ferrara, he developed a highly individual and emotionally charged art that subsequently became the most important formative influence on Surrealism. By the later twenties, however, he had broken with the Surrealists, and for the rest of his life he bitterly condemned the aesthetic and the artists of the modern movement in which he had played a significant role. No other body of critical writing on a major twentieth-century painter reveals such deep disagreements, such abutting contradictions, as that devoted to Giorgio de Chirico. The admirers of his pioneering Metaphysical pictures often seem united by little more than their admiration; they differ profoundly both in their interpretation of this remarkable work and in their analysis of its immediate artistic context and possible antecedents. Even more conflicting in character - at least in recent years - are the estimates of de Chirico's subsequent painting, that of the years from 1918 until his death in 1978. The essays in this volume present a reassessment, the most thorough study of de Chirico since James Thrall Soby's classic 1956 monograph. Maurizio Fagiolo dell'Arco writes on "De Chirico in Paris, 1911-1915"; Joan M. Lukach on "De Chirico and Italian Art Theory, 1915-1920"; William Rubin on "De Chirico and Modernism"; Marianne W. Martin on "De Chirico's Theater"; Wieland Schmied on "De Chirico and the Realism of the Twenties"; Laura Rosenstock on "De Chirico's Influence on the Surrealists." Earlier critical writing on de Chirico has often been bitterly controversial and heavily influenced by the artist's own polemic statements and by other texts rather than direct confrontation of the paintings. The present book offers close analyses of style, technique, and imagery-analyses that place de Chirico, despite his supposed "classical" models, firmly in the context of the other great modernists of the period. At the same time the volume presents discoveries and fresh viewpoints on the theoretical and historical background of the work and on the influence of this compelling and provocative artist. This book is published in conjunction with a major exhibition organized by Mr. Rubin, who is Director of the Department of Painting and Sculpture at The Museum of Modern Art, New York. 208 pages.
