Abstract

During the nineteenth century, France replaced Italy as the generator center of the arts, after a centuries-long tradition. Given this fact, both Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, founder of Italian Futurism, and Giorgio de Chirico, creator of Metaphysical Painting, brought their unique poetics into European modern art. Both received a decisive influence from Friedrich Nietzsche’s philosophical thought: Marinetti conceived artistic creation under the motto «art=life», attempting to transcend the crisis of the Western world. De Chirico constructed
his paintings subverting their original meaning, in order to discern their second appearance, in a spectral and metaphysical field, to represent with visual metaphors «the eternal return».
