Download or read book Metaphysical Art The De Chirico Journal Fondazione Giorgio E Isa De Chirico 2020 written by Giorgio and Isa de Chirico Foundation Rome and published by Manfredi Edizioni Srl. This book was released on 2020 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book opens with the de Chirico Foundation's President Paolo Picozza discussing the current state of scholarship on the de Chirico and the many initiatives launched in the continuing celebrations for the 40th anniversary of the Master's death. The editorial is followed by Fabio Benzi's article, which tracks down influence on young de Chirico of the vibrant cultural milieu of the Greek capital, especially for his reading of Nietzsche. German culture returns in Ara H. Merjian's dense essay, and explores how de Chirico's Metaphysical imagery, contributed to profoundly influencing politicized representational strategies between the World Wars. Unpublished archival materials (here published in English) is at the core of Victoria Noel-Johnson's study documenting in great detail works by de Chirico in the collection of the Belgian collector and Surrealist art patron, René Gaffé. Giorgia Chierici's investigation into the archival sources discovered in the Morgan Archives in New York and the sales records kept at the MoMA not only allows us to identify the works on display in de Chirico's first American exhibition at the Valentine gallery, but also helps trace down other works gravitating around that venue and its merchants-owners: Valentine Dudensing and Pierre Matisse. The focus of Roberta Di Nicola's essay is a philosophical reading of de Chirico's work as theatrical set designer for D'Annunzio's pastoral tragedy The Daughter of Iorio while Maurice Owens and Russell Richards, have put forward an interpretation of Giorgio de Chirico's novel Ebdòmero.

  • Release : 2019-07-25
  • ISBN : 9788857240589

Download or read book Giorgio de Chirico written by Victoria Noel-Johnson and published by Skira Editore. This book was released on 2019-07-25 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An innovative analysis of the artistic poetics of the master of metaphysical painting. Through a selection of important works made during this master's career, this volume aims to conduct a critical revision of the artist's complex practice for the centenary of his so-called volte-face in 1919, the year he was criticised for leaving metaphysical painting (1910-1918) in favour of styles and techniques inspired by Classicism and the grand masters. Edited by the most important experts of De Chirico, The Face of Metaphysics promotes an innovative interpretation of the artist's oeuvre (both metaphysical, where the traditional confines of linear time and space are replaced by the doctrine of cyclical coexistence); an arrangement according to themes and not chronology underlines the idea that, despite the many changes in style, technique and subject, composition and colour tone, all of De Chirico's works may offer tangible visions of the intangible philosophical concept of Metaphysics, advanced by Nietzsche in the late 1800s: constant metaphysics. Divided into six sections (The Eternal Return; Metaphysical Exteriors; Metaphysical Protagonists; Metaphysical Interiors; Metaphysical nature; Metaphysics Encounters Tradition), this volume gathers around 90 works from some of the most prestigious private museums and collections in Italy and from the Fondazione de Chirico and also offers a rich core of archive documents including letters, period photos and exhibition catalogues.

Book De Chirico and the United Kingdom  c  1916 1978

Download or read book De Chirico and the United Kingdom c 1916 1978 written by Victoria Noel-Johnson and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 831 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: De Chirico and the United Kingdom (c. 1916-1978) constitutes the first in-depth study into de Chirico?s lifelong relationship with the country. Detailing over 60 years? worth of activity through c. 550 documents, this publication establishes the fundamental importance that the UK played in the artist?s career with his work appearing in no less than 85 exhibitions, 49 of which are documented here for the first time. The recent discovery of extensive correspondence, press reviews and other documentation has enabled a thorough examination of three solo exhibitions held in London (Alex. Reid & Lefevre Ltd., 1938, Royal Society of British Artists, 1949, and Wildenstein Gallery, 1976); successful and failed acquisition bids for de Chirico?s artwork in the public sector, as well as the 1962-1964 controversy involving the Tate?s display of three paintings (on long-term loan from Edward James) that the artist denounced as fake.

Book excerpt: Set in the tense and uncertain years before the Second World War, when America was still largely conflicted about entering the war on either side, Andrew Rosenheim's thriller Fear Itself offers a rich depiction of history as it was--and as it might have been. Jimmy Nessheim, a young Special Agent in the fledgling FBI, is assigned to infiltrate a new German-American organization known as the Bund. Ardently pro-Nazi, the Bund is conspiring to sabotage American efforts against Adolf Hitler. But as Nessheim's investigation takes him into the very heart of the Bund, it becomes increasingly clear that something far more sinister is at work, something that seems to lead directly to the White House. Drawn into the center of Washington's high society, Nessheim finds himself caught up in a web of political intrigue and secret lives. But as he moves closer to the truth, an even more lethal plot emerges, one that could rewrite history. With sharp wit and a keen eye for period details, Rosenheim fully immerses the reader in Depression-era America. He seamlessly weaves into the narrative larger-than-life figures such as J. Edgar Hoover, Clyde Tolson, and Lucy Mercer Rutherford, as well as historical events like the 1939 pro-Nazi rally held at New York City's Madison Square Garden. The first in a series chronicling Agent Nessheim's adventures throughout the war, Fear Itself establishes Andrew Rosenheim as a spectacular new talent.
