Artist Background
Giorgio de Chirico (July 10, 1888 –
November 20, 1978) was a Greek born Italian artist.
In the years before World War I, he
founded the scuola metafiscia art
movement, which profoundly influenced the surrealists.
After 1919, he became interested in
traditional painting techniques, and worked in a neoclassical or
neo-Baroque style, while frequently revisiting the metaphysical themes of
his earlier work.
Why I have chosen to study De Chirico
I
chose to study Giorgio de Chirico for my current art project because he
painted
a highly influential group of paintings evoking dream-like architectural
visions of Italy. Further developed this style, was known as Metaphysical
painting. . I like that was that Chirico uses different materials in his work
to create tone and depth, for example in one of my favourite piece’s of his,
The Uncertainty of the Poet. This is something I want to accomplish in my own
work in order to make my pieces not only look surreal and dream like, but to
also make them seem real and vivid.
