ENRICO BAJ
Enrico Baj was born in Milan on October 31, 1924. After completing his studies at the Brera Academy, in 1951 he promoted, together with Sergio Dangelo and Gianni Dova, the Nuclear Art Movement and held his first solo exhibition in his hometown at the San Fedele Gallery. In 1953 he met Asger Jorn, with whom he founded the International Movement for an Imaginist Bauhaus, taking a stand against the forced rationalization and geometrization of art. The following year he organized the International Meetings of Ceramics in Albisola, Liguria. In his artistic research, which is expressed through polymeric and polychromatic collages, one can distinguish on the one hand a playful strand, where the pleasure of painting with all sorts of materials prevails, and on the other a strong civil commitment and critique of contemporaneity, which is expressed in the Generals and Military Parades of the 1960s, and even more so in the works of the 1970s, such as I funeral dell’anarchico Pinelli (1972) and Apocalisse (1979).
