About the liveliest item in the show is a couple of playful cats done by Sculptor Pericle Fazzini. As usual, Giorgio de Chirico was unhappy about the choice of his work-an uninspired Still Life with Fruit and Milan Cathedral Seen from Rooftops.

...Raised in Berlin, he entered the air force right after high school, but was grounded in a comparatively safe post because his two older brothers had already been killed. As a student at Berlin's Academy of Fine Arts after the war, he was a disciple of Rodin, but Kricke's independence of mind soon asserted itself to make him unpopular with his academic teachers.
