Generated Thick Descriptor (via Chat-GPT 4): Metaphysical art is characterized by dreamlike scenes with sharp contrasts of light and shadow with a mysterious, often threatening, quality. Key elements include deserted squares bordered by steeply receding arcades, shown in a raking light. Tiny figures or featureless dressmaker’s mannequins may be present, producing dislocation in time and space. The overall effect is a sense of metaphysical unease and disquiet.
