Giorgio De Chirico: Endless Voyage (Pegasus Library) Details
From the Publisher At a young age de Chirico was deeply impressed by Arnold Bocklin ’s painting of Odysseus on Calypso ’s island. De Chirico appropriated Bocklin ’s Odysseus for his own paintings, at first with little modification, then pushing it ever further into the background until it appeared only as a shadow. The author explains how the figure underwent numerous additional alterations In later paintings before returning to center stage as the famous “manichino ”figure, the faceless tailor ’s dummy. This absorbing volume brings readers closer to understanding one of the 20th century ’s most inscrutable artists. Read more
