Giorgio de Chirico Retrospective at Palazzo Reale Milan

The Palazzo Reale in Milan is hosting an extensive exhibition dedicated to Giorgio de Chirico (Volos, 1888 – Rome, 1978), the pioneer of metaphysical art, almost fifty years after his last significant retrospective in 1970. Curated by Luca Massimo Barbero, the exhibition is divided into eight sections that trace his artistic journey from early pieces to later masterpieces. Organized by Comune di Milano-Cultura, it showcases works from prominent museums and private collections, illustrating the concept of 'Metafisica continua' as described by Maurizio Calvesi. Founded in 1986 by Isabella, the Fondazione de Chirico fights against forgeries and promotes international exhibitions. President Paolo Picozza highlights the show's attraction for younger viewers, while Barbero emphasizes its unique juxtapositions and focus on de Chirico's baroque style.
