Reid &amp; Lefevre Ltd., 1938, Royal Society of British Artists, 1949, and Wildenstein Gallery, 1976); successful and failed acquisition bids for de Chirico\u2019s artwork in the public sector, as well as the 1962-1964 controversy involving the Tate\u2019s display of three paintings (on long-term loan from Edward James) that the artist denounced as fake.<\/p>\n<p>The publication also charts the artist\u2019s rapport with key British-based dealers and collectors (including the identification of de Chirico works in important collections belonging to Roland Penrose, E.L.T. Mesens, Peter Watson, Edward James, Arthur Jeffress and Eric Estorick); the reaction in the British press to the artist\u2019s ever-changing work; as well as other collaborations including set and costume designs for London\u2019s Royal Opera House (<em>Le Bal<\/em>, Ballets Russes, 1929, and <em>Prot\u00e9e,\u00a0<\/em>Covent Garden, Russian Ballet, 1938-1939). It also includes transcriptions of the artist\u2019s scarcely-known lecture, <em>The Italian Renaissance and the Present-Day Painter<\/em>, which he delivered to the Royal Society of Arts in May 1949, and\u00a0an unpublished manuscript\u00a0revealing his admiration for\u00a0Constable\u00a0(<em>Pensieri dell\u2019Arte<\/em>, c. 1948).<\/p>\n<p>By establishing the extensive presence of Giorgio de Chirico\u2019s work in the United Kingdom (c. 1916-1978), the publication constitutes a solid foundation for future studies that seek to reassess the artist\u2019s role in the history of 20<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0century British art, particularly that of British surrealism.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.marettieditore.com\/\">Maretti Editore<\/a>, Falciano (RSM)<br \/>\nTexts by: Paolo Picozza, Fabio Benzi<br \/>\nLanguage: English<br \/>\nPages: 831<br \/>\nFormat: 21 x 28 cm (hardback)<br \/>\nOn cover:\u00a0G. de Chirico,<em>\u00a0The Melancholy of Departure<\/em>, 1916, Tate, Londra<br \/>\nPrice: \u20ac 60.00<br \/>\nISBN: 978-88-98855-37-7<br \/>\nIn collaboration with Fondazione Giorgio e Isa de Chirico<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>De Chirico and the United Kingdom (c. 1916-1978) constitutes the first in-depth study into Giorgio de Chirico\u2019s lifelong relationship with the country.
