Gallery Sessions: Giorgio de Chirico
Join a discussion on Giorgio de Chirico and the enigmatic paintings of the scuola metafisica ("metaphysical school"). What did it mean to live "under the sign of the metaphysical alphabet," and what innovations did this bring about in de Chirico's work?
This session is led by Diana Bush.
Groups meet in the galleries noted on the schedule. Gallery Sessions are free for members and Museum admission ticket holders. No registration is required.
