New in New jacket. Folio-over 12-15" tall. pp. 64. New book, still in its shrink-wrap, although spine has faded despite that. Contains 77 illustrations, including 65 plates in full colour. A fully-illustrated introduction to the work of Giorgio de Chirico (188-1978), possibly the greatest Italian painter of the 20th century.
