Metaphysical Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) |
 | | It was the beginning of the XX century, it was a period of artistic turmoil that saw the birth of "Fauvism" (André Derain, Raul Dufy, Henry Matisse...), "Cubism" (George Braque, Fernard Léger, Pablo Picasso...), "Futurism" (Giacomo Balla, Umberto Boccioni, Carlo Carrá...) and "Dada" (Jean (Hans) Arp, Marcel Duchamp, Francis Picabia...). |
 | | Carlo Carrá, Giorgio de Chirico and Giorgio Morandi were the architects of the movement that saw the participation of Filippo de Pisis, Mario Sironi, Alberto Savinio (pseudonym for Andrea de Chirico) and Oskar Schlemmer. |
