Giorgio de Chirico on Italian Television with English Translation

The Italian to English translation was done by Leonardo de Frenza and Sarah Gaspari.

He's roasting the interviewer the whole time haha. Great artist with a sense of humor

[@Davide_LP]

They were friends, it’s a semi-ironic interview, they play with eachother

[@luissamanamud6578]

Thanks so much to you, Leonardo de Frenza and Sarah Gaspari for taking the time for the translation and upload of this historical footage of Chirico, this is amazing in so many levels. Im sure this is will inspire a lot of people to pick up the brushes and paint throught the eyes of the dreams. It is really an privilege to see a master of this magnitude work on a painting from zero. I find it hilarious the interaction between the interviewer and his constant questions (sometimes border on the annoying, certantly) and the deadpan humour of the Chirico. But it all works well in the end, thankfully.

In realtà l'intervistatore è stato molto molto bravo, perchè intervista un genio mentre crea l'opera e non credo esista contesto più complicato e rapporto intervistatore/intervistato più sbilanciato. Ma con domande banali riesce a far risaltare il sarcasmo pungente di De Chirico e a farlo conversare, ma appena ne ha l'occasione approfondisce con domande molto più puntuali e profonde. Un grande giornalista.

[@David-cm4ok]

That’s a very good critique. I agree.

[@emmalouisejay387]

This was hilarious. The way the artist plays with the interviewer.

[@jerryanchor7471]

one of the funniest interviews I've seen.

[@mikekeyes6102]

Many thanks for this wonderful and rare opportunity of seeing one of the most important artists of the 20th century at work.

[@davidegiannelli4475]

Il pittore più profondamente filosofico che sia mai esistito. Il maestro più grande del 900! 🌀🌀🌀

[@magnusnilsson6217]

His pictures has a very specific athmosphere. Really like them. And the 'dialogue' is so nicly different. It's like the interviewer is a child. So different from a lot of uninteresting empty talk. Thankyou for the uplod. It is really appreciated!

[@leamubiu]

I can sense the interviewer going 😑 at de Chirico's laconic, sardonic answers. It's hilarious :D

[@fideliusconcrete4871]

He was one of the very few serious masters. Thank you so much for letting us enjoy him! Apart from that I think it is remarkable that the two most important greek masters of modern art made it in Italy, the other one is Jannis Kounellis.

[@DavidPeacockChannel]

Thanks for watching and for sharing info about Kounellis.

[@somebody7270]

A true master! This interview cracked me up!

[@JHSMARIAM]

Artista ineguagliabile, unico nel suo genere, a mio avviso il migliore in assoluto!

[@DavidPeacockChannel]

His work is interesting after repeated views.

[@martinwhite4216]

learnt plenty just in this short time,a sincere painter.

[@DavidPeacockChannel]

He's candid about what he is doing. As opposed to Picasso who was secretive and never explained what he was doing with Cubism.

[@salvatorechirico3783]

My master artist.

[@ZowiChan]

Thank you so much for uploading this interview, it was very insightful. I liked how De Chirico explained that there wasn’t any special meaning behind this painting, that he just painted something he wanted to draw. It’s so rare to see this kind of behind the scenes stuff, De Chirico’s atelier, all the process behind the final painting and catch a glimpse of the artist’s technique and personality.

[@DavidPeacockChannel]

The way I see it de Chirico had unusual thoughts and rather than try to explain them, because they are quirky or surreal, he says there is no special meaning. He put great value in his thoughts and then he can paint them confidently and make it look natural.

[@ZowiChan]

@@DavidPeacockChannel Yes, that might also be the case, I like your interpretation. My comment was based on my limited understanding of surrealism. Since it was a movement that put emphasis on the unconscious and automatism, I thought that Giorgio De Chirico used the same process to make his paintings.

[@DavidPeacockChannel]

@@ZowiChan de Chirico would call it Metaphysical thinking. The Surrealists admired Chirico's paintings and he attempted to join their group but after a few years he moved beyond the piazza paintings and the Surrealists disliked his new work and he exited the group.

[@nataliasomova5031]

Intervista pazzesca, mi sono divertita, ho riso quanto mai nella vita, ho trovato troppo ironico uomo che intervistava De Chirico....!!!!!! Bravo!!!!

Io ho trovato più ironico De Chirico.

[@borregalesandres]

Lamentablemente el entrevistador No supo sacar partido de lo que De Chirico le dijo sobre sus gustos filosóficos y estéticos, sino que insistió en lo de los recuerdos infantiles, etc. Afortunadamente el documento existe y podemos ver a un maestro hablar de su forma de vivir, de trabajar, de entender su ciudad, el lugar en su familia, entre otros puntos preciosos.

[@METALMARK1000]

[@abelgomez906]

I miei rispetti al giornalista che ha fatto la nota

[@RoyalistKev]

He was probably nervous and intimidated, but I thought that the interviewer did a bad job. I wanted to know how Schopenhauer and Nietzsche influenced his work, what specifically in their philosophies roused his artistic spirit, a deeper conversation on their views on any aspect of life.

[@DavidPeacockChannel]

I am interested in the details of this influence. All I've read is that de Chirico was influenced by Schopenhauer and Nietzsche's concept of enigma.

[@David-cm4ok]

I love that he likes Schopenhauer. I can’t get along with Nietzsche at all, it’s just too intellectual for me. Schopenhauer is another case.

[@CodCats]

genius

[@saulorocha3755]

He is so ironic with the interviewer. He isn’t enjoying it being filmed in his privacy.

[@dariopato2845]

This has to be the most akward professional interview ever lol

[@MyDenis0]

artists really were anti bullshit back then. You could not get thru them. He sensed very well that the interviewer was "idolizing" him with those evocative questions and he found it irritating, and rightly so, only low level actors agree with the fake complimenting questions " why are you so amazing?!" De chirico sensed it wasn't a true interview but more a "show" .

[@flutterbat89x69]

yes exactly, and is absurd when they continue to ask question that obviously they dont wont to answer, no respect at all, the modern italy is all bulshit and no content, and you are a loser if you dont do main stream stuff as the other people, mostly like soccer n pussy, haha is absurd

[@David-cm4ok]

What an idiotic take. The interviewer was excellent, he pushed for answers. I thought he was very smart in his tactics.
