Wahey!
May I add that the Chirico – a metaphysical painter by his own description – was a source of inspiration for the surrealist movement, inspiring better known greats like Rene Magritte. His odd pairings of objects, vertigo-inducing perspective and bold flat colours never fail to make me dream.
Thanks for featuring this! :)
