He was born in Volos, Greece, the son of an Italian engineer. In 1900 he began studies at the Athens Polytechnic Institute. He moved to Munich, Milan, Florence and Paris where he associated with poets and painters. Because of the war, in 1915 de Chirico returned to Italy, where he met Filippo de Pisis in 1916 and Carlo Carra. In 1917 they founded Metaphysical painting. Although the movement was short-lived, it was perhaps the most original and important movement in the Italian art of the 20th century, and the highest point in de Chirico's pain |
