Focus on this artwork and analyze the Metaphysical art movement.
The metaphysical art movement was created by Chirico and Carlo Carrà, who had previously been a futurist. These paintings would depict Italian city squares that are unnaturally devoid of people. These city squares would often include a grouping of objects that provide a strange juxtaposition. With these driving elements in his paintings, Chirico created a dreamlike reality that was beyond the physical world. Aspects like the strange grouping of objects in The Song of Love are what André Breton and the surrealists looked up to when organizing their movement. Though the actual art movement only lasted the six months Chirico and Carrà worked together, metaphysical art is the movement associated with all of Chirico's work after 1911.
