Between his arrival in Paris in 1911 and the end of the First World War, Giorgio de Chirico founded the metaphysical painting movement. This exhibition explores his influences during this period, with works by contemporaries including Giorgio Morandi and Carlo Carrà, while also looking back to his years as a student in Munich.
