Description:
|
During World War I, Carrà met Giorgio de Chirico and Filippo De Pisis and adopted the language of Metaphysical art: this marked the beginning of a brief period, in which the artist reinterpreted the objects favored by de Chirico (mannequins, toys, fish) in a search for new relationships between space and volumes, between colors and plastic structures, in accordance with a personal view of Metaphysical poetics that he theorized about, in 1919, in the essay Pittura Metafisica. Moving away from the subtly ironic language of de Chirico, Carrà began to explore the pure form of "ordinary things." (Source: Brera Pinacoteca [website]; http://pinacotecabrera.org/en/)
