Going against the grain of the avant-gardes that sought to break with the past, Barilli analyzes how De Chirico chose to rescue the origins and recover the language of classical works. The reader will find an erudite reflection on the tension between tradition and innovation, and will discover the keys that make De Chirico a unique artist, capable of engaging in a dialogue with antiquity from a modern sensibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book examines the artistic trajectory of Giorgio de Chirico, focusing on his particular position within the avant-gardes of the early 20th century. While most artists of his time were committed to fleeing the old in search of the original, De Chirico took a different path: rescuing the origins and recovering the language of works from the past. Renato Barilli unravels this apparent paradox, showing how looking back becomes a form of modernity, and how the recovery of the classical tradition is transformed into an avant-garde gesture. Through rigorous analysis, the author explores the influences, techniques, and recurring themes in De Chirico’s painting, offering an interpretation that invites a reconsideration of the artist's place in art history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe relationship between classical tradition and artistic avant-garde in the work of Giorgio de Chirico.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe concept of \"rescuing the origins\" as a creative strategy against the avant-garde rupture.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe recovery of the pictorial language of the past as an expression of modernity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDe Chirico's uniqueness within the artistic context of the early 20th century.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at art students and professionals, historians, critics, and painting enthusiasts who wish to delve deeper into the work of Giorgio de Chirico.
