Mr. Dudron - by Giorgio de Chirico (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

The painter's unpublished novel, an account of the misadventures of his autobiographical hero--a painter who wanders, dreams, remembers, frets, polemicizes, and tells stories. Translated from the Italian for the first time into English.

Review Quotes

"The relationship between the artist and their audience has been analyzed and fetishized by critics ad nauseam, but Mr. Dudron provides a fresh perspective from the artist's point of view."
--Rhian Sasseen, The Atlantic
