GIORGIO DE CHIRICO: L'ENIGMA DELLA PITTURA at the Piaggio Museum in Pisa is being offered to the public from 19 April - 28 June 2008 is the initiative from the Piaggio Foundation and by the Commune of Pontedera. The show marks the thirty-years since the death of the great Master of Metaphysical painting with an exhibit of thirty-five works, some well-known, rediscovered and some never before seen in public. Giorgio de Chirico's enigmatic works of 1911 to 1917 provided a crucial inspiration for the Surrealist painters. The dreamlike atmosphere of his compositions results from irrational perspective, the lack of a unified light source, the elongation of shadows, and a hallucinatory focus on objects.
The enigmatic dreamscapes of the early 20s gave way to portraits and studies of fruit against the backdrop of a landscape.
In the 1930s, de Chirico abandoned Modernism - which he grew to despise - to rediscover the techniques and materials of the Old Masters and to produce a perfectly understandable brand of neoclassicism.

His Father is gone [train on the move] the two figures that chat with long shadows are possible his brother and himself, the reclined woman their mother, the young girl that plays a childhood first love, the statue of a man a tribute to his father the buildings are his memories from Volos the clock of lost memories. Female torso, lust for a mature woman who loved bananas as they were rare and exotic in Volos what gets me the most is that he never painted allot of trees yet filled the sky green
