Con la sua Pittura Metafisica, il pittore italiano di origine greca Giorgio de Chirico è stato una figura molto influente nell'avanguardia del XX secolo. Alleato del movimento surrealista, sviluppò uno stile avvincente composto da prospettive nitide, ombre suggestive, vuoti inquietanti e figure solitarie, allo stesso tempo oniriche, ansiose e cupe.

20Pittura Metafisica
The brooding spaces of Giorgio de Chirico
The artist’s Pittura Metafisica set statues or mannequin-like figures in exaggerated one-point perspective spaces including city squares, receding arcades, distant walls, or claustrophobic interiors. Sharp perspectives, striking shadows, geometrical planes, and voids of space crafted a compositional drama and lurking mood of anxiety and loneliness.The paintings set out to disquiet, to make the viewer reassess the nature of reality and search beneath its appearances for elusive memories and unexpected insights. While the Surrealists around Breton turned to Freud’s theories of the unconscious, de Chirico was fascinated by Nietzsche.
This dependable artist introduction explores all the ominous shadows and brooding corners of de Chirico’s Pittura Metafisica as well as his later development into a more classical style, a shift widely criticized by the Surrealists who had so admired his early paintings.
