What is the hallmark of de Chirico's painting style?

  • Pointillism

  • Fauvism

  • Illogical perspective

  • Minimalism

Answer

The hallmark of de Chirico's painting style is his illogical perspective, often called "metaphysical perspective." Instead of depicting objects realistically, de Chirico shifted the position and size of objects, producing a disorienting and dreamlike effect. Influenced by irrationality and psychology, this technique conveyed psychological states and emotions through spatial distortions.
