I love the work;
but read his Memoirs...he was quite an asshole.
Better to just look at the work.
Sadly; all his best work was done early on and then he went downhill...unlke Picasso who always moved forward.

Giorgio de Chirico gave great inspiration to the surrealists. And it is obvious in this video. Great! Thank you!

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

my understanding is that it is not surrealist. he was one of the 'moderns' and breaking away from the futurists, wasnt sure how to identify his interest, but had a fascination with apparitions. he decided on Metaphysical for this period. the emotion evoked seems wrung from opposite poles: (a room, close in immobile struggle, yet a window behind showing vaporous distances...)
