GIORGIO DE CHIRICO. UN UOMO TRA RIVELAZIONE ED ENIGMA

Ideation: Christina Clausen, Francesca Picozza

Direction: Christina Clausen

Production:  Rai Radiotelevisione Italiana

Italy, 2014, 52’, Italian

The documentary traces the artistic and private life of Giorgio De Chirico, dwelling on some little-known aspects of his personality and his thought. The modern figure of the Pictor Optimus is still present especially about his remarks on the profession of the painter and the world of art. Giorgio De Chirico, guardian of the great tradition of painting, has been also a precursor of the modernism: artist, innovative sculptor, formidable visionary, but also a humanist, philosopher and insightful observer of the human being in his crazy contradictions. With Ruggero Savinio, Paolo Portoghesi, Claudio Strinati, Gianni Vattimo, Angela Carpentieri and Ascanio Celestini.
