I find the work of surrealist painter Giorgio de Chirico (1888-1978) to be quite captivating. I find that they so beautifully capture mood and size, with the barren landscapes, severe shadows, and blank, massive buildings. The tiny people that sometimes populate the scenes further convey the immenseness of his landscapes, which seem to exist in some strange dream world, a hybrid of the industrial and the ancient.
