Mystery and Melancholy of a Street by Giorgio de Chirico

"To be a true immortal, a work of art must escape the limit of all human beings: logic and common sense can only interfere, but once these obstacles are destroyed it is a child I will enter the area of ​​dreams and dreams of the times. "

The mystery and melancholy of the street is one of the unparalleled images of the desolate public space of Giorgio de Chirico and is presented in a simple geometric form. This picture depicts the encounter between the two characters. A small girl with a hoop and an image appearing in the picture only through its shadow. The girl is moving toward the source of bright light behind the building on the right and is strongly illuminated by the left arcade. A bright yellow corridor extends to the horizon and is divided into two areas. It is a bright area and a dark area.

If you look closely at the two buildings that have contrasting shapes, you can see that the lightning bolt is not the only difference. Since De Chirico intentionally uses two contradicting vanishing points (a point on the image plane, an intersection of a series of parallel projection lines (or drawing)), all similarities with the reality are destroyed. The buildings on the left side of the building are all somewhat above the horizon and the arrangement of dark buildings is consistent with the place where the roof of the truck hits the yellow ground. The last details on angle of view are isometric projections of tracks or tracks illuminated by magical lights from the track. Juxtaposing a light source and perspective enables de Chirico to create a mysterious and impossible universe, the space never gathers, the girl never reaches the statue

Giorgio de Chirico, the predecessor of the Surrealism movement, intentionally overturned the city's square, surrounded by an imaginary space, usually an arcade or brick wall, to create a mysterious experience and a rebutted reality I will. After reading German philosophers, especially Friedrich Nietzsche, the artist began to be interested in the concept of eternal return and mythic reproduction. French poet Guillaume Apollinaire initially called the work of de de Chirico "metaphysics", where a metaphysical art movement began, with Giorgio de Chirico and Carlo Carrà as leaders.

If there is an image showing the European modern melancholic scene - the scene which disappears in the next century - it may be said to be the mystery and melancholy of the street of Giorgio de Chirico drawn on the eve of the First World War not. It seems like a trace of the spectrum that myself fades, the girl pushing the wheel through the axis of the sun at the border of the arcades lined square. The shadow of an invisible figure (statue? Soldier?) Invaded the scene near the center of the picture, and it looked ominous in the lonely entertainment of the girl. The trailer of the horse in the foreground is vacant. With a thin shadow and a sloping retreating airplane, the call for de Chirico's "mystery" and "melancholy" provides a metaphysical allegory of the 20th century, although not necessarily a geopolitical history. Become an alien

The street's mystery and melancholy is one of De Kirico's most confusing metaphysical pictures. And as usual it brought us uneasy and impossible universe. In this picture, the two buildings designed in Renaissance style surround the desolate public space and create an avant-garde seductive atmosphere. Two people rushed into the evening light: a hooped girl (lower left corner) and a big guy's shadow (almost certainly an image) (upper right corner). This girl seems to be attracted to invisible adults. At the same time, in a dark foreground, we look at the horse's chest at first glance. And its open doors and dark interior add to the overall feeling of potential threats.
