Abstract

The article is first to consider the influence that G. De Chirico's works of the early period (1910s-1920s) and his 'metaphysical painting' produced on Italian artist Antonio Bueno. The author highlights that the impact produced on young Bueno, searching for his own artistic manner, by the stylistics of this well-recognized leader of the avant-garde 'metaphysical painting' trend was ambiguous. The author exploits a comprehensive interdisciplinary approach to evaluate the way De Chirico's works contributed to Bueno's search for a 'modern style' of painting. The materials of the research are Bueno's diary-memoirs and the studies devoted to his works. It is concluded that only some features typical of early works by De Chirico and his 'metaphysical painting' manner were acquired by Bueno. However, they are concluded to contribute significantly to the development of Bueno's individual stylistic manner. Moreover, these 'borrowed' features are considered most distinguished and stably occurring. In fact, these are the features that shaped his works, in particular those having earned him national and international recognition.
