10.7.1888
Born in Vólos, Magnesia (GR)
Giorgio de Chirico was born and raised in Greece where his father was a railroad engineer. He studied art in Munich from 1905 through 1909 and then in Paris until he entered the Italian military. After the First World War, in 1918, he moved to Ferrara, Italy.
From 1909-1918, de Chirico made paintings termed pittura metafisica or metaphysical painting that were a dreamlike fusion of reality and unreality. These works present stagelike townscapes with distorted perspective and deserted spaces that evoke loneliness and nostalgia. These images of frustration, tension and charged ambiguity strongly influenced the Surrealist painters of the 1920´s especially Salvador Dali, Max Ernst, Yves Tanguy and René Magritte.
A constant theme of de Chirico´s early work is the loss of his father, commemorated in precisely painted white statues, smokestacks, towers and trains. Later, mannequin iconography and ambiguous forms that seem to evoke ancient myth and modern science populate de Chirico´s pictorial stages.
