Product Description
Book Description
This is the first major English language biography of the Italian artist and writer. De Chirico (1888-1978) was best known for his 'metaphysical' paintings but he also wrote the first surrealist novel, poems, articles about art and an autobiography. Even more mysterious than the paintings is the man himself - secretive, self-centred and contradictory, supercritical, ironic and humourless but creative in ways he probably hardly understood. The book contains new information about his philosophical studies, personal relationships, sexual problems and mental illness and resolves some of the enigmas that have confronted his critics. The author also considers de Chirico's influence on other artists such as Cocteau, Ernst, Tanguy and Magritte, as well as his professed dislike of the Surrealist movement.
