Catalogue Note
Giorgio de Chirico in Hebdomeros scrive: “E poi la pioggia; la pioggia oggi come ieri e come domani; la pioggia non troppo forte, ma regolare, la pioggia senza fine”. L’autore sembra proprio descrivere il getto d’acqua rappresentato in questo straordinario disegno. La plasticità dell’acqua che, in un perpetuo moto, invade l’interno di una casa e fa affiorare ricordi legati all’antica catastrofe biblica del diluvio universale, rendendo tale composizione un gioiello della produzione dei Calligrammes. Giorgio de Chirico wrote in Hebdomeros: “And then came the rain; the rain today, as it was yesterday, and as it will be tomorrow; that rain which is not overly heavy, but rather constant, rain without end”. The author may well be describing the tide of water depicted in this extraordinary drawing. The plasticity of the water, in perpetual motion, invades the interior of a house, evoking the Genesis flood narrative. This composition is a standout example from the Calligrammes series by de Chirico.
