# Giorgio de Chirico

> He painted empty piazzas where the light falls wrong and faceless mannequins wait under arcades that obey no rational geometry — then spent the second half of his career dismissing the modernity he'd helped invent.

## Bio

Giuseppe Maria Alberto Giorgio de Chirico was born in Volos, Greece, on 10 July 1888, to a Greek-Italian family. In the years before World War I, he founded the scuola metafisica art movement, filling canvases with Roman arcades, long shadows, mannequins, and trains arranged in illogical perspective — imagery steeped in the philosophy of Schopenhauer and Nietzsche and the mythology of his birthplace. The work profoundly influenced the surrealists. After 1919, de Chirico turned against modern art, studied traditional techniques, and worked in neoclassical or neo-Baroque modes, though he kept circling back to the metaphysical themes that had made his name. He died on 20 November 1978.
