A reflexão sobre a melancolia, na produção estética de Giorgio De Chirico, compõe o arcabouço da presente pesquisa. Neste estudo, são considerados sentimentos e ressentimentos que permeiam aspectos biográficos e estéticos ligados direta e/ou indiretamente às questões da melancolia na obra do artista Giorgio De Chirico. A constituição melancólica de sua produção seria sustentada pelas referências do artista? Isto é, a reconhecida influência de filósofos como, Nietzsche e Schopenhauer e de artistas como Arnold Böcklin e Max Klinger forneceria o embasamento à postura melancólica de De Chirico? O contexto vivido na Europa, no século XX (cercado por duas Guerras Mundiais) contribuiu para a adoção desta condição? As circunstâncias biográficas direcionariam o artista para a expressão da melancolia em seus trabalhos? E, por fim, De Chirico utilizaria o que poderia se chamar de uma estética da melancolia como um dos eixos de sua reflexão poética? A elucidação dessas perguntas pode residir nas fontes históricas que unem melancolia e arte desde os escritos dos filósofos gregos, passando pelas questões do Renascimento e chegando ao ideário moderno do qual De Chirico é fruto. / The melancholy reflection on the aesthetic production of Giorgio De Chirico makes up the framework of this research. In this study, the feelings and resentments that permeate biographical and aesthetic aspects related directly or indirectly to issues of melancholy in Giorgio De Chiricos works are considered. Would the melancholy constitution of his production be sustained by the references of the artist? That is, would the recognized influence of philosophers like Nietzsche and Schopenhauer and artists such as Arnold Böcklin and Max Klinger provide the basis for de Chirico\'s melancholy posture? Would the context experienced in Europe in the twentieth century (surrounded by two world wars) contribute to the adoption of this condition? Would the biographical circumstances steer the artist towards the expression of melancholy in his works? Finally, would De Chirico make use of what might be called an \"aesthetics of melancholy as one of the pillars of his poetic reflection? The elucidation of these questions may lie in the historical sources that combine art and melancholy from the writings of the Greek philosophers, through questions of the Renaissance and coming to modern ideas - of which De Chirico is a result.

My paintings emerge from within a context best explained by reference to Nietzsche's perspectivism. That is an intellectual attitude that deprivileges rationalism and accommodates scepticism or unknowing as an acceptable starting point From this standpoint art/language can be seen as being in a state of becoming rather than as representing a state of being. This thesis aims to demonstrate, not only by a philosophical encounter with Giorgio de Chirico's work: ie. his use of myth, his Nietzschean perspectivism and his enigmatic interpretation of figuration, that the most helpful context and understanding of my work can be realied. De Chirico's art, like Nietzsche's philosophy seeks in its processes to explore the possible unity of Dionysian aesthetic force with the Apollonian. Neither Nietzsche nor de Chirico considered within a post-Socratic world that this unity was realizable. Nevertheless they both share in their respective art forms a need to represent the relentless struggle to enact the disjunction of the two aesthetic forces in a secular world. The artist’s enigmatic imagery is characterized by a consideration of appearance and reality and it is for this reason that the work was selected as a model for investigating the nature of enigma. His use of seemingly straightforward, ordinary images suggests a sense of accessibility, yet at the same time they are irreducible to knowing and my own image-making was greatly expanded by investigating these concerns. I am not arguing that de Chirico was influenced by Nietzsche but instead that Nietzsche's philosophical point of view and his use of poetic language to express these views lay in discovering the qualities and substance of the Dionysian spirit As well as working within a Nietzschean world-view set out in The Birth of Tragedy, de Chirico has also drawn on the Italian unification, specifically the Risorgimento and the lineage of these political and mythical figures were endemic to his art and they interface the with his use of the Apollonian-Dionysian disunity first explored by Nietzsche. The focus of the exegesis will be to present the poetic and philosophical use made of the latter in de Chirico’s art It is anticipated that this philosophical encounter with the aesthetic, social and political world of de Chirico will, not only assist in interpreting his life's work anew, but will also provide a context in which my paintings of enigma might be interpreted.

La obra de Giorgio de Chirico (1888-1978) abarca todo el siglo XX, su pintura retrata el periodo artístico que inician las vanguardias en París, continua el surrealismo, y cierra el pop-art de Andy Warhol. Esta investigación propone un recorrido arquitectónico por su imaginario metafísico, un lugar donde se reúnen enigmas modernos con mitos clásicos, chimeneas y fábricas con pórticos y ágoras, para poner de manifiesto la naturaleza de un futuro igual al pasado. Sus maniquís y autómatas escenifican el eterno retorno de Nietzsche en medio de plazas urbanas o inmersos en profundas habitaciones, desde donde alertan al espectador sobre el carácter permanente de la arquitectura y la ciudad, descifrando sus símbolos descubriremos el espíritu del mañana y la clase de vida que proyectamos para nuestros hijos y descendientes.

In dieser Dissertation werden 13 wichtige Werke Giorgio de Chiricos (1888 Volos, Griechenland – 1978 Rom), Filippo de Pisis’ (1896 Ferrara – 1956 Mailand) und Giorgio Morandis (1890 Bologna – 1964 ebenda) eingehend beschrieben und analysiert. Als Ergebnis ergibt sich die zum Teil unerwartete Entdeckung, dass die „noch“ figurative, teilweise als rückgewandt angesehene Kunst der drei untersuchten Künstler eine moderne, immer noch aktuelle Frage nach der besonderen Qualität des Bildes stellt. Ihre Skepsis gegenüber einer festgelegten Art der Wahrnehmung entfaltet sich in einer produktiven Auseinandersetzung mit den Bildern und mit einer Gattung – das Stillleben - einer tradierten Kunsttradition und zeigt Kunst in ihrer Fähigkeit ein besonderes, anderes Sehen anzuregen. Dabei zeigt sich in der Analyse der Bilder die unzertrennliche Beziehung von Sichtbarkeit und Unsichtbarkeit als einen zentralen Moment in der künstleri-schen Produktion. Diese Thematik wird unter anderem in der Verbindung de Chiricos, de Pisis’ und Morandis zu den Schriften Arthur Schopenhauers, Friedrich Nietzsches und Giacomo Leopardis erörtert und speziell mit der Auflösung des klassischen Realitätsbegriffs konfrontiert. Die aus dieser Auflösung resultierende „Krise der Repräsentation“ hat auch die Kunst der Moderne veranlasst, sich kritisch mit dem „Realen“ auseinanderzusetzen und nach neuen Formen der Darstellung, aber auch der Betrachtung zu suchen. Wesentlich ist dabei der Gesichtspunkt, dass die bewusste Reflexion des Sehens und des Wahrnehmens selbst zum Bild werden. Dieser Aspekt wird mithilfe einer phänomenologischen Perspektive und Fragestellung weiter ausgeführt und diskutiert. Der Fokus und die Struktur dieser Dissertation liegen in der konkreten und direkten Auseinandersetzung mit den Werken der drei bildenden Künstler aus denen auch der begriffliche Horizont der Arbeit immanent erschlossen wird. / This study describes and analyses in detail a total of 13 important works by the Italian painters Giorgio de Chirico (1888 Volos, Greece – 1978 Rome), Filippo de Pisis (1896 Ferrara – 1956 Milan) and Giorgio Morandi (1890 Bologna – 1964 Bologna). Its findings include the partially unexpected discovery that the “yet-figurative” aesthetics of these works, which may be valued as backward and even reactionary raise a very modern and relevant question about the special quality of pictures. The works’ scepticism of a fixed kind of perception also emerges in their productive confrontation with canonical, more traditional pictures and in their affirmation of art’s ability to encourage a special, “other” way of seeing. The argument of this study is based on the investigation of the unavoidable relationship between visibility and invisibility as a central moment in de Chirico’s, de Pisis’ and Morandi’s artistic production, and proposes a dialogue with the theories of Arthur Schopenhauer, Friedrich Nietzsche and Giacomo Leopardi, whose influence on the tree painters was of great importance, especially in conjunction with the dissolution of classic concepts of reality. The crisis of representation resulting from this dissolution led in the visual arts to a critical confrontation with the concept of the “Real”. As a consequence of this confrontation news forms of representation and observation emerged. Essential to this transformation is that conscious reflexions about sight and perception became themselves the subjects and objects of pictures. This aspect is also considered from the perspective of phenomenology and its tools of enquiry. The dissertation’s focus and structure derive from the direct confrontation with the pictures, which also informs its conceptual horizon.
