...Europe, some of that sentiment has flowed into the pacifist and antinuclear movement that brought thousands of people into the streets two years ago to protest the deployment of U.S. -built nuclear Pershing II and cruise missiles as a counter-force to a Soviet buildup of medium-range SS-20s. The era of mammoth demonstrations seems to have passed, but a pacifist current remains.

During this period, De Chirico reworked the haunting depictions of piazzas and faceless troubadours from the canvases of the 1910s and '20s that made him famous. There are also neo-Baroque portraits of De Chirico and his wife, Isabella, in regal 17th century attire, which display his masterly brushwork and ironic eye for melodrama...
