Biography
Giorgio De Chirico (1888-1978) Greek-Italian painter. Born in Volos, Greece 1888; Died in 1978 in Rome. Founder of the Metaphysical art movement in Italy. He began painting in Greece, attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich and his metaphysical style was born after moving to Italy in 1908. In 1911 he exhibited at the Salon d’Automne and at the Salon des Indépendants in 1913 in Paris, when Guillaume Apollinaire also organised a De Chirico exhibition. In 1919 he presented his first personal exhibition at Anton Giulio Bragaglia's Art Gallery and published the text "We metaphysicists". That moment marked the beginning for De Chirico of an intense period of exhibitions throughout Europe, particularly in France, while considerable interest in his works also emerged in the United States. De Chirico's painting was appreciated by all the major Dadaist and Surrealist artists and also by the German artists of "Magic Realism", those of the "Bauhaus" and of the "New Objectivity". In 1928 he held his first solo exhibition in New York at the Valentine Gallery and shortly afterwards exhibited in London. He published the novel "Hebdòmeros" in 1929. During these years he also dedicated himself to writing and stage designing.
