Giorgio de Chirico: 9 works

'Giorgio de Chirico's pictures tend to ask more questions than they answer.'

'A late replica, made by de Chirico, probably in late Sixties and retrodated to 1948, of one of his most celebrated paintings of 1914.'

'This solitary archaeologist is a version from the Thrities of a model, sometimes entitled philosopher, sometimes archaeologist, poet or painter, and with various other titles in other cases, which de Chirico invented in the Twenties and continued to create in couples or single versions for the entirety of his career.'

'This subject is among the most frequent in de Chirico's works. From his childhood until the last years of his life, he drew and painted horses, alone or in pairs, sometimes inserted into a variety of contexts.'

'This "costume" has a particular meaning in the period from the end of the Thirties to the Fifties, in which de Chirico rediscovered the techniques of baroque painting, Rubens and the works of the eighteenth century Veneto. On a number of occasions it explicitly signals his opposition to contemporary art.'

'During the Thirties, de Chirico exhibited a number of works with the title of Venice, of which, however, little remains.'

'A late replica, made by de Chirico, probably in late Sixties and retrodated to 1948, of one of his most celebrated paintings of 1914.'

'In this, one of his last works, de Chirico dreams of his own native land and in the role of artist-singer-mannequin, bids farewell to his audience, to whom he offers an essay on his repertoire.'

'his monumental sculpture in bronze is an example of a recent copy, which the Giorgio and Isa de Chirico Foundation had made specifically in two copies, on the commission of Carlo Bilotti. The composition reproduces, in over life-sized dimensions, a plaster model made by de Chirico in 1966.'
