Quote

Although the dream is a very strange phenomenon and an inexplicable mystery, far more inexplicable is the mystery and aspect our minds confer on certain objects and aspects of life.

Image
Art is the fatal net which catches these strange moments on the wing like mysterious butterflies, fleeing the innocence and distraction of common men.
Giorgio de Chirico
Image
It used to be that painters were crazy and sculptors clever. Today it's the other way around.
Giorgio de Chirico
Image
If a work of art is to be truly immortal, it must pass quite beyond the limits of the human world, without any sign of common sense and logic. In this way the work will draw nearer to dream and to the mind of a child.
Giorgio de Chirico
Image
When I close my eyes my vision is even more powerful.
Giorgio de Chirico
Image
Everything has two aspects: the current aspect, which we see nearly always and which ordinary men see, and the ghostly and metaphysical aspect, which only rare individuals may see in moments of clairvoyance and metaphysical abstraction.
Giorgio de Chirico
Image
To become truly immortal a work of art must escape all human limits: logic and common sense will only interfere. But once these barriers are broken it will enter the regions of childhood vision and dream.
Giorgio de Chirico
Image
One must picture everything in the world as an enigma, and live in the world as if in a vast museum of strangeness.
