The First thing to catch my eye in this painting was how defined and straight the lines are. There are lines everywhere in this painting. I really like this painting because it’s abstract but not in a way most people would define abstract as. Metaphysical Interior with Bisquits was painted by Giorgio De Chirico in 1916. It was also painted with oil onto a canvas. These two paintings are very similar to each other but also contrast in elements as well. As I said before‚ there are lines everywhere

The last time we ran a metaphysical poem [1]‚ I went into a rather detailed analysis of its construction‚ talking about the many conceits used‚ how they fit into a logical sequence‚ and how the idea of logic gave structure to the poem as a whole.
