The publication includes the collection of Giorgio de Chirico\u2019s letters, both work-related and personal, from the years 1909-1929, in the original language, Italian, French, German and Modern Greek (with Italian translation).<\/p>\n
\u201cReading de Chirico\u2019s letters from the two crucial decades of 1909 to 1929 is like a voyage into the 20th<\/sup> century\u2019s art and thought. It is a one-way trip: even though the recipients (Apollinaire, Soffici, Papini, Carr\u00e0, Breton, Eluard, to mention only a few), conserved his letters and passed them on to the history of art, the sender did not keep a single page of those of his illustrious interlocutors. And yet, notwithstanding this uninterrupted monologue, his letters tell us much. The letters lead us directly to the heart of the classical ideal that affirmed itself after the war, of which de Chirico was one of the fathers.\u201d
