[edit] Greek nationality
De Chirico was simply born on Greek territory, but he had nothing of Greek. I removed this reference in sall the paintings articles. --Attilios 09:10, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
- According to the book "De Chirico: The Metaphysical Period 1888-1919" by Paolo Baldacci, he was definitely part Greek and lied about it, inventing his own biography, as he was fanatically pro-Italian. Foday 15:17, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
Well, if he defined himself as Italian, he must be considered an Italian citizen. It's like Robert De Niro who is reported as Italian-American because he considers himself in that way (dispite the fact he's only 1/4 Italian). Anyway Baldacci is one against many others: worldwide De Chirico is an Italian painter. That's all. Which should be his mysterious Greek ancestries?
Zabri - I edited it to italian painter, cant understand why Handel in Wiki is a German-born British musician (and Handel is born from german parents) while dechirico was depicted here in this article, as a Greek-Italian Painter. He considered himself as an Italian, was born from Italian parents and come back in Italy at age of 9.
[edit] Too many fair use images on this page
There are simply too many fair use images on this page. We need to trim it down to three or so paintings. We can link to articles for the other pieces. Does anyone have any suggestions about which images to keep ? — otherwise I'll use my own judgement. Megapixie 00:55, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
- The only picture that has to stay is The Disquieting Muses (1916), which is -I think- the most famous work of this artist. I agree: even now the quantity of pictures are excessive to illustrate the article. If you don't want problems with De chirico's heirs, some of them should be removed.--Joanenglish 21:39, 7 November 2007 (UTC).
