Enjoyed your talk, and feel more for it. The second order of things = meaning Chirico’s love of Nietzsche Nietzsche’s influence on his art, such as the black horse with one foot raised that comes from the plaza where Nietzsche lived. Philosophers debate and define the boundaries, represented by the historical timeline of the buildings, but Nietzsche immersed himself to the limit in the darkness , conscious of what he was doing, but was injured for it! An equestrian statue with one foot raised means the rider was wounded in battle.So Chirico is giving homage, making a monument, to Nietzsche’s battle with the limits. Wow, Bravo!
Amy's talks always inspire me through her wide-ranging references in literature, philosophy, theology, art, and more. In so brief a time, she focuses my appreciation of the work under discussion and also of the larger project of art-making, of culture-formation and shifts, that each work participates in. This brings that artwork into a state of meaning for me, both in itself and in the world.
Thank you for helping me understand Giorgio de Chirico ...I have been mesmerized by his works but really never knew much about them . I can jump off and get to know him now.
This painting has so much meaning - much more than I could absorb in this short talk. And yet it gives identity to the artist, and his hero, Nietzsche, and some of their struggles. I didn't understand all of it, but took away a tiny bit, and may learn more at another time. Thank you again for another contemplation!
Thanks, Amy. Your description and interpretation of this piece was extremely helpful. As a visitor to the Barnes, I would never have know of de Chirico’s connection with the metaphysical.
Oh, my Amy, what would we do without you to guide us through the many, many layers of meaning and nuance in this work. I did notice the tower apparently leaning away from the viewer, leaning away from the spare, sparse plaza in which the horse is so important, but is still obscured. This painting makes my head hurt!
I always though of him as a Greek. His surname suggest a reference to Kithera which is also know as Cirigo (Chirgo). Certainly his upbringing was Greek though his nationality was through paternity ie Genovese.
i adore listening to Amy and i always learn something new - thank you Barnes and thank you Amy :) from Canada

Heyy I been here! DeChirico was definitely a highlight- his work looks REALLY GOOD in person...

Thank you for this insight into the design of this painting by de Chirico and also the comments on the piece by Dr. Barnes. Wonderful!
Thank you Amy!
