Böcker av Giorgio de Chirico

This seminal 1929 novel by artist Giorgio de Chirico merges the realms of dream and reality, in this acclaimed piece of Surrealist literature.

The painter's unpublished novel, an account of the misadventures of his autobiographical hero—a painter who wanders, dreams, remembers, frets, polemicizes, and tells stories. Translated from the Italian for the first time into English.

One of the initiators of surrealism, Giorgio de Chirico greatly influenced later painters, particularly during his "metaphysical" period. De Chirico's painting was complemented by his writing. This edition comprises both volumes of the "Memoirs", along with "The Technique of Painting".
