February 11 1881
Calro Carrà was an Italian painter and leading figure of the futurist movement that flourished in italy during the beginning of the 20th Century. In addition to his many paintings, he wrote a number of books about art and taught for many years in Milan.
His futurist phase ended around world war one when he became more interested in stillness and form. he began creating still-lifes in a style he described as 'metaphysical painting'.
The name of an Italian art movement, created by Giorgio de Chirico. His dream-like paintings of squares typical of idealized Italian cities, as well as apparently casual juxtapositions of objects, represented a visionary world which engaged most immediately with the unconscious mind, beyond physical reality, hence the name. The metaphysical movement provided significant impetus for the development of Dada and Surrealism.
