Summary: De Chirico: The Metaphysical Period is the most authoritative source on the formative years and period of greatest achievement in the career of Giorgio de Chirico, one of the masters of twentieth-century art. Beginning around 1909, Giorgio de Chirico projected in his paintings an irrational, dreamlike world of empty classical cityscapes populated by statues, shadows, and familiar objects isolated or mysteriously juxtaposed. This Metaphysical Painting, as he called it, was seized on by the Surrealists in the 1920s and has continued to haunt our imagination. Paolo Baldacci's monograph reveals the many biographical elements of de Chirico's mysterious work, devoting particular attention to his most critically acclaimed period,
