	ARTINVEST2000® GIORGIO DE CHIRICO ENGLISH
		Giorgio and his brother Andrea, who in 1912 started to use the assumed name of Alberto Savinio, received a good education, based on ancient history, languages and Greek mythology.
		De Chirico painted a series of claustrophobic interiors filled with extravagant objects - biscuits, maps and frames, while the mannequins were given a new monumentality and placed on the background of scenes of Ferrara, as in the “Great metaphysics” (Grande metafisico) of 1917.
		The favour that the “first” de Chirico was shown by Breton, with the exclusion of the subsequent paintings, had considerable influence on his critical assessments.

	Giorgio de Chirico
		De Chirico is best known for the paintings he produced between 1909 and 1919, his Metaphysical period, which are memorable for the haunted, brooding moods evoked by their images.
		At the start of this period, his subjects were still cityscapes inspired by the bright daylight of Mediterranean cities, but gradually he turned his attention to studies of cluttered storerooms, sometimes inhabited by mannikins.
		Yves Tanguy[?] wrote how one day in 1922 he saw one of de Chirico's paintings in an art dealer's window, and was so impressed by it he resolved on the spot to become an artist -- although he had never even held a brush!
