Description

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.

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.

Summary

One of the initiators of surrealism, Giorgio de Chirico greatly influenced later painters, particularly during his "metaphysical" period. De Chirico's painting was complemented by his writing. This edition comprises both volumes of the "Memoirs", along with "The Technique of Painting".
