Synopsis

No Italian painter of this century has aroused so much comment, from eulogy to outright condemnation, as Giorgio de Chirico (1888-1978). One of the initiators of surrealism, he is a key figure in modern art; his influence on later painters, particularly during his "metaphysical" period, is vast. De Chirico relied on imagery from the unconscious to create art with mythological, philosophical, and historical overtones, so that his paintings have an appeal that is more that purely visual.

About the Author

Giorgio de Chirico (1888-1978) was an Italian artist and writer. In the years before World War I, he founded the scuola metafisica art movement, which profoundly influenced the surrealists.

From the Back Cover

The self-portrait that emerges in these pages is, like de Chirico's early canvases, a projection of the obsessions and inner conflicts of an artist of unequivocal integrity, who, gradually insulating himself from crumbling values, became convinced of his own creative supremacy at the center of the universe.
