Metaphysical Movement
The "Metaphysical Movement" refers to a philosophical and artistic trend that emerged in the early 20th century, primarily in the United States. It emphasizes the exploration of reality beyond the physical world, focusing on concepts such as existence, consciousness, and the nature of being. This movement often intersects with various spiritual and philosophical traditions, including Transcendentalism and Eastern philosophies.
In art, the Metaphysical Movement is characterized by dreamlike imagery and a sense of mystery. Artists like Giorgio de Chirico created works that evoke a sense of the uncanny, often featuring empty cityscapes and enigmatic figures. This artistic approach aims to provoke deeper contemplation about the nature of reality and human experience.
