Giorgio De Chirico's paintings during the teens caused such a stir that Picasso and Paul Eluard immediately praised them. After 1930, he turned to a more classical style of painting and continued in the same vein for the rest of his career; his later work was widely criticized, especially by the Surrealists who had so admired his early paintings.
