Artist Bio:
Giorgio de Chirico (1888-1978) was an Italian artist known for being a prominent figure in the Surrealist movement. He was born in Greece but moved to Italy in his youth, where he studied art in Florence and later in Munich. De Chirico's early works were influenced by the metaphysical art movement, characterized by dreamlike scenes with unexpected juxtapositions and eerie atmospheres.
De Chirico's style evolved over time, and he is best known for his paintings of deserted cityscapes featuring classical architecture, long shadows, and enigmatic figures. His work had a significant impact on the Surrealist movement, inspiring artists like Salvador Dalí and René Magritte. De Chirico's innovative approach to composition and use of symbolic imagery continue to influence artists to this day.
