Thirty-five paintings and sculptures as well as twenty-two lithographs and drawings from the artist's late period on loan from the De Chirico Foundation in Rome will show the inspiration of ancient Greece and classical Italian art on the artist (1888-1978). In his work, myth encountered the modern age, as he sought to bridge time and history.
