Annigoni, known as a great portrait artst,
also painted landscapes and a number of
metaphysical compositions. In some
compositions he used tailor's dummies and
other props, reminiscent of De Chirico. A member of Modern Realist
Painters, an Italian group which existed
briefly from 1947-49, he was opposed the
emergence of abstract art and the avant
garde. Some of Annigoni's works have a
magical content, examples are included
below.
