This presentation is very good and informative. This is the best video in English I could find on this fantastic artist.
I very much agree. I went looking a couple yrs ago for a biography of de Chirico on youtube and all I could find were bio-films in Italian and Greek. I don't know either language. This was fantastic!!
And to the uploader, many thanks! Since "Poor de Chirico" by 10,000 Maniacs, I have been studying this enigma of a man through libraries, then museums in SF, Chicago, Paris. People like you are the reason the internet was invented. I thought I knew all there was to know of him; I learned so much from your presentation. Thanks for the hard work you must have had to do to get this made.
Mr Peacock is a surrealist masterpiece! Well done!
Man, this was the exact video I wanted to exist snd when I sought for it, here it was! Thank you.
Great vid! Thoroughly enjoying…lots of new-to-me information re that great enigma known as de Chirico 🌟❤️🌟
Thanks
Huge fan of GD and a lifelong painter myself. This filled in a number of gaps, as I had not read into his history with Surrealism deeply enough. Much appreciated. Explained a great deal.
Thanks for watching
Thank you for this brilliantly researched and presented video about de Chirico' s life and works. Both his art and life are worthy of knowing, rediscovering, and admiring. It is a pity that so little is known about him as opposed to surrealist artists, despite his art being a major influence on them.
Since I've made this video years ago, I think of ideas I would have added to the narrative. One idea is that the work of the Surrealists was about automatism, dreams and purposely shocking the audience. I see de Chirico as a pictorial poet. De Chirico was a poetic painter and it shocked people and looked like dreams, but it's simply his poetry.
Thanks for watching 🙂
@@DavidPeacockChannel Yes, I think the Surrealists have been a little bit overrated while we don't hear much about metaphysical art the kind of art de Chirico, and to some extent, his brother created. But perhaps you should make a second video. Ideally, I would love to see Chirico's story made into a feature film or a series 🙂
@@kapkanilan3864 I am looking out for future de Chirico exhibitions that I can visit and continue to talk about de Chirico.
Well done DAVID Peacock. was glued to my computer.;-)
Greatly detailed in-depth presentation. I found Giorgio de Chirico through the architecture and theory of Aldo Rossi, who took inspiration from the de Chirico and who’s work I greatly admire. I am inspired by Giorgio de Chirico.
Very well done, thank you for posting this.
Thanks so much for putting this together, it must have taken a lot of work. This is a very interesting documentary with lots of depth and is much appreciated.
Thanks Colin, it took over a year to research, write, film and edit.
Very insightful interpretation, both of art history and de Chirico's unique place in it. The surrealists exemplify both the attractions and dangers of groupthink, something inherent in pseudo-Marxist doctrinaires. Determining who is "in" or "out" was what was arrogant, not Giorgio de Chirico.
I have always liked architecture & landscapes in paintings/fine art. I have always liked surrealism art. Who better than Chirico to represent these? Wow. And it is 2 hours!! [:-D] Thank you for this upload! [:-)]
I put many hours into this video. I decided that rather than show the most famous paintings, I would include as many paintings as possible. I enjoy the also architecture and I can't think of another painter who has done it better.
I reacted too early all masterpieces also the later ones can be seen. Great presentation. Thanks
thanks for this informative film...!
In Pictor Optimus' canvases we see,
A world where realms of metaphysics be,
Giorgio de Chirico, master of the arts,
In shadows and in light, his genius imparts.
With pataphysics, surreal visions flow,
In dreamscape landscapes, depths of thought they sow,
Each stroke a mystery, a story to explore,
In Chirico's works, the mind finds evermore.
His pictorial mastery, a vivid dream,
In enigmatic beauty, his visions gleam,
A timeless dance of light and shadow's grace,
In Chirico's art, a mystical embrace.
With arched arcades and towers standing tall,
He conjures worlds where mystery enthral,
In whispered secrets of the inner mind,
His canvases reveal what we may find.
So Pictor Optimus, in the realm of art,
With metaphysical touch, you play your part,
In every stroke, a riddle to engage,
Giorgio de Chirico's genius on the stage.

Beautiful
I think the later work of the Chirico, here bashed, is really revolutionary as well he started surrealism and postmodernism
As a painter and writer who studies the enigma intensly (learned about it through guston) finding this was like finally finding gold, thank you!
Enigma is a difficult subject to discuss. I knew I would have trouble with this word but I decided to include it because it was important to de Chirico.
great vid my compliments
that was so awesome, thank you for cutting through the bs.
Breton needed to get his ass kicked.
Thank you. If the all paintings in the video were given the titles, that would have been a plus.
I made a conscious decision to exclude titles of paintings. If I include titles of paintings which are different from the narration, then the titles of paintings will compete with the narration. Also, there are over 500 paintings shown in this video and it would be distracting and too much information for anyone to absorb.
@@DavidPeacockChannel Thank you for your answer. I respect your choice, yet I still believe that having the titles would have been a great plus.
Loved it! Great video, very dense and insightful. My only negative remark is the pronunciation of french names suck as Guillaume or the latin expression "ecce homo"
thank you
Brilliant! ........Saluto!
🌿Most inspiring invitation to Enigma 🌿
🌿💜🌿 Thank you 🌿💜🌿
Well the beginning is going rather rushedly. And Guillaume is pronounced 'Gee-yome' stressing the first syllable.
It’s pronounced Guyom not guamin
cool stuff :)
Guillaume =. Gee - yome.
The content of the letter shown when letters are discussed has nothing to do with what is being said, apart from being the same letter in all cases. Anyway, very complete visual gallery, I really liked it.
de Chirico trolled the art world like no other!
His view is beautiful and unique.
Is there any way to edit your pronunciation of "Guillaume "? It's pronounced GEE -YOM. It takes away from your presentation.
TH-cam does not offer a way to edit audio of the narration. If I edit the original it will sound odd to insert one word. I've fixed mispronunciations in my other videos and it's difficult because it upsets the flow of the sentence. The file for this video is about 5GB, to edit, save, export and upload to TH-cam takes about 3 hours.
I'm done with this one, I did my best. Professional documentaries have many professionals, including professional researchers, writers, editors, directors and narrators. They have professional training and earn a professional salary. I did this all on my own for no reimbursement. Judge it for what is is. I cannot compete with the professionals.
@@DavidPeacockChannel thank you for your effort. And I appreciate your response...
@calcimagnes9124
What takes away from the presentation is your brains incapacity to accept that Guillaume is not pronounced correctly
Let it be and enjoy the narrators love for the subject that he has with such dedication created and is sharing with us
@@beejumittahb8527 chill, dude.
Very useful thanks!
Great Doc. What is the name of the painting at 5:37?
William IV King of Great Britan by George Healy (1844)
Whats is the movie on 44:54 ?
It's a surrealist film by Man Ray called Emak-Bakia. Watch at Ubu Films ubu.com/film/ray_emak.html
The shot is at 15:31
日本語字幕してほしい
A big request. No promises from me to comply.
Guillaume is pronounced "ggee-yohm" ;)
Thank you! That's what I thought but I figured, well, French name pronunciation can be an enigma (😉)... I found my mind wandering quite often with his plodding narration, this "film" was way too long
Who painted the masterpiece at 5:36? Great doc.
William IV King of Great Britan by George Healy (1844)
Thank you good sir. I just found my new wall paper/ screensaver.
"De Chirico", not "Chirico". Thanks for uploading.
I'm curious, which is correct, de Toulouse-Lautrec or Toulouse-Lautrec?
Most people say Toulouse-Lautrec, I use the same convention when saying Chirico.
@@DavidPeacockChannel Soby-Thrall's book was titled 'The Early Chirico', so I believe you are correct.
@@DavidPeacockChannel I don't know if in the Anglo-Saxon world it is common to do not pronounce the "de" and I see is usual in English to shorten long words etc, but in this case, because is a surname, it wouldn't be correct to just say "Chirico". In fact, it happens exactly the opposite in (current) Italian and we tend to pronounce the surnames with the "de" ( that are many...) without detaching the two parts, just saying "deChirico" as one word. I am not saying these things to negatively criticise your work, instead, I have appreciated immensely this video. Is an excellent work, very informative on de Chirico's life and the relationships between surrealism and de Chirico. My compliments!
@@giannibuspo5509 Also you pronounce Carra with the accent on the first "a" instead the accent must be on the last "a", the final letter of the name: Carrà :)
De Chirico ziobello!!!
This dude saying "neechy" and "stimming"
Someone has already pointed out the narrator's murdering of French names, but if you listen, he seems to have a major problem with the English language as well. Over and over he mispronounces English words and I'm sure English is his first language. He is perhaps the worst reader I have heard narrating a serious thesis. I have managed one hour of this butchery, but can take no more...and I'm a huge fan of de Chirico.
I admit I got in over my head in the deep end. This was one of my first videos and I had to learn many skills I had never done before (research, plan, write, re-write, narrate, edit, re-edit, re-edit, re-edit).
