de Chirico is a bunch of this bullshit
fucking boring after you've seen a dozen or so.
endless exteriors that look like painted (shittyly) hollywood soundstage backdrops for B movies, filled with fucking still life components and architectural details. does nothing for me. even his painting technique is just ok. It is surrealism as if painted by a precocious 11 year old. very static, very inert.
Now, Dali' , for all his failings and fucked upness and assholeness, pained shit like this
works filled with action and lush sensuality, works which are actually quite small and therefore even more insane in their hyperrealistic execution. Looking at the fanatical detail achieved by dali in his works it is almost unthinkable (from a painter's point of view) how insanely difficult they are to achieve.
Dechirico is second rate.
