Metaphysical art

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Metaphysical art is the name of an Italian art movement, created by Giorgio de Chirico and the former Futurist, Carlo Carra using a realist style, they painted dream-like views of the arcaded squares typical of such Italian cities.

The squares are unnaturally empty, and in them objects and statues are brought together in strange juxtapositions. The artists thus created a visionary world of the mind, beyond physical reality, hence the name.

The movement was highly influential, most importantly on the development of the dream-like, Surrealist painting
