This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "Apollinaire asserted that Chirico's first paintings were done under the influence of kinesthetic disorders (migraines, colic, etc.)" in the context of "Quote of André Breton, in the First Manifesto of Surrealism - 1924; The Abridged Dictionary of Surrealism, reprinted in Marguerite Bonnet, ed.
