Notes: Extracted from the volume, XXe Siècle, vol. no. 4, 1938. Published by Editions XXe Siècle, Paris; Printed by Mourlot, Paris, 1938. GIORGIO DE CHIRICO (1888-1978) was an Italian artist and writer born in Greece. In the years before World War I, he founded the scuola metafisica art movement, which profoundly influenced the surrealists. His best-known works often feature Roman arcades, long shadows, mannequins, trains, and illogical perspective. His imagery reflects his affinity for the philosophy of Arthur Schopenhauer and of Friedrich Nietzsche, and for the mythology of his birthplace. He was an inspiration to multiple generations of artists including Dali, Picasso and Miro.
