Giorgio de Chirico
This is the most comprehensive volume probing the life and work of the modern art icon Giorgio de Chirico. Giorgio de Chirico was one of the most controversial and consequential artists of the twentieth century—a key member of the Paris avant-garde, he was a major influence on other artists, especially the nascent surrealists.

Artists inspired by de Chirico’s early work include Yves Tanguy, Pablo Picasso, Max Ernst, Salvador Dalí, and René Magritte. His influence also extended beyond painting and included writers and poets Guillaume Apollinaire, Andr...

The Memoirs Of Giorgio De Chirico
In this book, Giorgio de Chirico (1888-1978) recounts his early upbringing in Greece and first instruction in drawing at the Athens Polytechnic, his studies in Munich, his impressions of Italy, and his 1911 move to Paris. He relates vivid anecdotes of various Paris artists and personalities, notably Apollinaire, Cocteau, Derain, and Paul Guillaume, giving the key to incidents in Hebdomeros. He describes his sevice in the Italian Army in the First World War, his return to Paris, his association with the surrealist movement, and his subsequent disillusionment and self-isolation.
De Chirico. Ediz. inglese
Greek-born Italian painter, Giorgio De Chirico (1888-1978) was hugely influential in the early years of the Surrealist movement. His paintings during the teens in Paris, where he moved in 1911, caused such a stir that such important figures as Picasso and Paul Eluard immediately praised them. This phase of his work, which he later termed pittura metafisica (metaphysical painting) was marked by dramatic compositions involving sharp perspective, striking shadows, geometrical planes, voids of space, and a general feeling of anxiety and loneliness; the sense of absurdity evoked by the mannequin-like figures in almost nightmarish landscapes seemed to suggest a Freudian expression of the unconscious. After 1930, De Chirico turned to a more classical style of painting and continued in the same vein for the rest of his career; his later work was widely criticized, especially by the Surrealists who had so admired his early paintings.
