Metaphysical painting (sh)




Italian Pittura Metafisica.

Style of painting that flourished งใ 1910-20 in the works of the Italian painters Giorgio de Chirico and Carlo Carra (1881-1966).

The movement began with Chirico, whose dreamlike works with sharp contrasts of light and shadow often had a vaguely threatening, mysterious quality. Chirico, his younger brother Alberto Savinio, and Carra formally established the school and its principles in 1917. Their representational but bizarre and incongruous imagery produces disquieting effects and had a strong influence on Surrealism in the 1920s.
