	Giorgio de Chirico - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Giorgio de Chirico (July 10, 1888 – November 20, 1978) was an influential pre-Surrealist Greek-Italian painter born in Volos, Greece to Italian parents who founded the scuola metafisica art movement.
		De Chirico was profoundly moved by what he called the 'metaphysical aspect' of Turin: the architecture of its archways and piazzas.
		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.

	Painter/Artist: Giorgio de Chirico
		Although Chirico's pre-World War I paintings ran counter to the general trend toward two-dimensional, space-controlled Cubism as illustrated in the work of Picasso, Braque, Gris, etc., they did conform to a general pattern of proto-Surrealist works (by such painters as Chagall and Henri Rousseau) emphasizing psychological rather than purely formal factors.
		Chirico projected his pictures on the basis of a far-reaching spatial environment, a bland and relatively unvaried surface texture and, most important, a lyricism of mood and a dreamlike quality that is particularly his.
		After the war Chirico turned to a kind of mystical neo-classicism that is not generally as well thought of as his earlier works.

	Giorgio de Chirico
		Giorgio de Chirico was born in 1888 in Volos, Greece, the son of Italian parents.
		De Chirico traveled between Italy, Greece and Germany where he was influenced by the philosophy of Arthur Schopenhuaer and Frederich Neitzche, whose intellectual ideas rubbed off on the artists' work in high "metaphysical" paintings.
		Until 1910, de Chirico had painted canvases in a classical, almost symbolist manner, full of mythological imagery, but in 1910, recovering from an illness in Florence, he recognized a disturbing, alienating quality to the long shadows of a piazza in the Autumn afternoon.

	Guardian \| Giorgio de Chirico
		Giorgio de Chirico was surrealism's St John the Baptist, and it is in his paintings of 1911 to 1913, contemporary with cubism, that painting assimilates itself to the dream in a new way.
		De Chirico takes from cubism the death of pictorial logic; his response to this is not to abandon the picture, but to make it disturbingly ambiguous.
		Its fussy premise is that De Chirico was obsessed with the classical myth of Ariadne, who ran away with Theseus only to be abandoned on Naxos.
