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. His repertoire of motifs empty
arcades, elongated shadows, mannequins, trains created images of
forlorn emptiness that became iconic. Artists inspired by de
Chirico s early work include Yves Tanguy, Pablo Picasso, Max Ernst,
Salvador Dali, and Rene Magritte. His influence also extended
beyond painting and included writers and poets Guillaume
Apollinaire, Andre Breton, John Ashbery, and Sylvia Plath,
filmmakers Jacques Prevert and Michelangelo Antonioni, and even
David Bowie, who admired de Chirico s genderless tailors dummies
that inspired his music videos. After the Great War, he turned
toward neoclassicism and bitterly fell out with the surrealists and
the mainstream modernist movement in the process, becoming an
outspoken outsider of the art world. This in-depth examination of
the artist s life and work by the world s foremost de Chirico
authority is based on new archival research and offers a fresh view
of de Chirico s relationship with surrealism, fascism, forgery, and
the European avant-gardes.
