I also do not quite understand why from de Chirico moved to surrealist. As far as I know in the vanguard of the historical period, he was the creator of the so-called "metaphysical school" and refused to exhibit with the Surrealists, despite the fact that they regarded him as his predecessor. Unlike syurov de Chirico in his paintings are not passed to the image of an irrational world. He developed a special form-building tool, through which it tried to express modernity - the state and mood of modern society. This is especially clear at a late stage of his system (mean metaphysical period), when instead of people in his paintings appear mannequins with ovoid heads, devoid of features, but in communication and movement. These creatures from de Chirico - symbols of certain moral state of modern man. His work - not only mysticism (which of course was his admission), but also psychology. Painting "Prodigal Son", "Duet" - one of them. I have no album de Chirico, so unfortunately, can not now something to attach. The conclusion is: in the paintings of de Chirico occurs parallel reality with which he symbolically describes the natural world, gives him his assessment. No communication with the system of surrealism, where the only true and real peace is the subconscious, there is not yet in sight.
Metaphysical School was short-lived, because the students have not been de Chirico, and he soon abandoned his principles. Carlo Carra and Magritte - his followers. Not accidentally Nana, loving de Chirico, Magritte and also bestow. I love de Chirico, because in his metaphysics lot of symbolism, but symbolism - my favorite system.

Munch, I am interested in a group of words: metaphysical painting, mysticism, psychology, parallel reality, irrationalism

Boundary such vague and can travel freely to and fro.

  "As a speculative art, metaphysical painting has no points of contact and does not give a clue as to what is shown."
"The painters of the metaphysical also sought to create a magical atmosphere of sleep."


How do you determine that these "heads" are rational and a parallel reality, but these are irrational and out of sleep.

And whether a rational parallel reality?
