L'Ange juif

Giorgio de Chirico Italian, born Greece
1916
Not on view
Cette nature morte est une exception dans l’œuvre de Giorgio de Chirico, dont les énigmatiques paysages italiens des années 1911 à 1917 allaient influencer les surréalistes quelque dix ans plus tard. Des éléments en bois peint — pistolet rose à pois, équerres, mètre bleu et blanc — sont empilés pêle-mêle sur d’autres objets qui sont peut-être des bornes kilométriques. Le spectateur est surpris par un œil surdimensionné, dessiné à grands traits sur une feuille de papier qui surgit du bric-à-brac. Certains ont interprété l’œil et l’échafaudage d’objets comme un portrait abstrait du père de l’artiste, qui était ingénieur pour une société ferroviaire.
