Reviews
IF YOU ARE EXPECTING THE 'METAPHYSICAL' PICTURES THAT ARE USUALLY ASSOCIATED WITHDE CHIRICO,YOU WILL BE DISAPPOINTED. THOSE PICTURES WERE ACQUIRING A VIEWINGAUDIENCE IN EUROPE, AND HAD NOT YET CROSSED TO AMERICA. THE FIRST PICTURES WE GOT HERE WERE NOT SO ACCOMPLISHED, AND LOOK VERY INFERIOR TO THE FAMILIAR METAPHYSICALPICTURES. BUT I THINK THEY ARE USEFUL IN GIVING US A FULLER PERCEPTION OF THEARTISTS WORK. LIKE ALL THE OTHER FAMOUS ARTISTS, HE SOMETIMES TURNED OUT A TURKEY.BUT HIS WAS A UNIQUE VISION WHICH EXERTED A GOOD BIT OF INFLUENCE. CONSIDERING HIS YOUTH, THAT IS A VERY IMPRESSIVE ADDITION TO THE ART SCENE OF THAT TIME.
