A grad student is working on her MA thesis, in which she
wants to explore Giorgio de Chirico’s interest in ancient Roman and Greek
culture. As part of her research she is looking for his writings, but has
had no luck getting via ILL because she doesn’t have exact bibliographic
information. If you hold the following journal, would it be possible for
you to provide us with the bibliographic citations?
Valori Plastici (
-April-May 1919 (article title in English is “Metaphysical
Aesthetic” )
-June-October 1919 (article title in English is “Impressionism”)
-May-June 1920 (article in English is “The
Architectonic Sense in Ancient Painting”)
-1925, “Gustave Courbet”
Do any of you know of a bibliography to his writings?
The student also wants to see if she can discover what de
Chirico read, to see if she can discover sources of inspiration. She read
his memoire, but said he didn’t discuss his reading. The student
said he used the Bibliotheque
National extensively. I’m stumped about this avenue
of research in this case. Do any of you have suggestions?
She knows he corresponded with Apollinaire, but we can’t
find any collections of letters. Does anyone know if there is an archive
with this correspondence? I haven’t looked into this myself, but I
thought I would ask while I’m at it!
I appreciate any help you can give. Please respond off
list.
