Giorgio de Chirico (July 10, 1888 – November 20, 1978) was a Greek-born Italian artist. In the era before World War I he established the art movement, scuola metafisica, which would inspire surrealists. After 1919, Chirico had a change in the direction of his art. He acquired interest in traditional techniques of the neoclassical or neo-Baroque style. Around this time he frequently revisited the metaphysical themes of his previous works. Learn more »
