Interno metafisico con officine
Daily Appreciation
Interno metafisico con officine is from de Chirico’s second Parisian period, articulating the strange sense of displacement the artist sought to create through his enigmatic groupings of disparate objects.
Infusing everyday objects and surroundings with a sense of the mysterious, Interno metafisico con Officine is a superb example of Giorgio de Chirico’s mature metaphysical paintings. It represents perfectly the artist’s wish to uncover the poetic and metaphysical possibilities that lay beneath the surface of everyday reality.
Within the present work, the artist depicts a fantastical interior, crowded with familiar objects and curious geometrical forms.
De Chirico’s masterful juxtaposition of these elements in unexpected combinations challenges the viewer’s on the true nature of the objects themselves. Removed from their usual context, they become almost abstract in form and meaning.
Interno metafisico features an astonishingly distorted sense of perspective: objects are enclosed by a wall which could equally plausibly serve as floor or ceiling.
