GIORGIO DE CHIRICO. ENIGMA IN PAINTING
Thirty years after his death, Pontedera celebrates Giorgio De Chirico, the main protagonist of 20th century painting with Pablo Picasso. Curated by Giovanni Faccenda, the exhibition details De Chirico’s artistic production as Master of Metaphysics. His life and work are centered on his desire to “make visible what’s invisible”, hence the ‘enigma in painting’ in the title of the exhibition. The masterpieces on display include Horse and Horseman, Rapallo Castle, The Disquieting Muses, Piazza d’Italia, as well as new works such as Horseman with Dog, Venice and important findings such as Pawing Horses by the Sea, a mini version of the well-known theme of Hector and Andromache, 1972. During the same period, the Il Germoglio Gallery in Pontedera is hosting the exhibition La lunga ombra del Metafisico. Maestri del Novecento in rapporto all’opera e alla figura di Giorgio de Chirico: The Metaphysic’s far reaching influence. 20th Century Masters compared to the work of Giorgio de Chirico.
