Metaphysics and Les Italiens de Paris: Italian Art of the early twentieth century<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Introduction to Metaphysics and Italian Artists in Paris<\/h2>\n

Metaphysics emerged as one of the most innovative artistic movements of the early 20th century, with deep roots in Italy.<\/p>\n

During World War I, artists such as Giorgio de Chirico<\/em>, Savinio<\/em> (Alberto de Chirico), Carlo Carr\u00e0<\/em>, and Filippo de Pisis<\/em> met in Ferrara, known as the “City of 100 Wonders.”<\/p>\n

This period marked the beginning of a new way of interpreting reality through metaphysical art.<\/p>\n

The birth of Giorgio de Chirico\u2019s metaphysical painting<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Influences from Munich and Turin<\/h3>\n

Giorgio de Chirico\u2019s training developed between his stay in Munich (1909-1911) and a brief experience in Turin in 1911.<\/p>\n

These two experiences were fundamental for the birth of his metaphysical painting, characterized by a visionary perception of reality and a strange relationship between places and objects.<\/p>\n

Features of Metaphysical painting<\/strong><\/h3>\n

De Chirico\u2019s works are distinguished by the use of classical images such as busts and plaster statues, which coexist with modern objects. Urban landscapes are suspended in a timeless and placeless dimension, dominated by perspective constructions and populated by faceless, nameless mannequins.<\/p>\n

Italian Artists in Paris and the Les Italiens de Paris Group<\/strong><\/h2>\n

De Chirico, Savinio, and de Pisis spent many years in Paris<\/a>, along with other Italian early 20th-century artists like Massimo Campigli, Gino Severini, and Mario Tozzi.<\/p>\n

Paris became an important hub for artistic and cultural exchange.<\/p>\n

Exhibitions and International Recognition<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Between 1928 and 1933, major exhibitions took place in Paris, where the group was presented as Les Italiens de Paris. The term was coined by critic Waldemar George, a supporter of the “return to order” and admirer of Italian art.<\/p>\n

The Italian Metaphysical legacy in Paris<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Giorgio de Chirico and the metaphysical movement had a lasting impact on modern art, thanks to their presence and exhibitions in Paris. Their influence continues to be reflected in the international art scene today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
