Description
Aquatint,etching, Guernica,Enrico Baj, Italy 1960, Baj Chez Picasso 2 Etching and aquatint by Enrico Baj Signed and numbered in pencil by the artist. The work is in very good condition. Enrico Baj, one of the most important Italian artists of the 1950s and 1960s, was born in Milan in 1924. After graduating from the Liceo Classico, he began studying medicine at the University of Milan, which he abandoned after World War II in favor of the Faculty of Law (which he completed by becoming a lawyer) and the Brera Academy of Fine Arts, often in parallel.In 1951 he held his first solo exhibition at the Galleria San Fedele in Milan, where he presented informal works. In 1952, together with Sergio Dangelo, he signed the manifesto of nuclear painting, and in 1954, together with Asger Jorn, he founded the International Movement for an Imaginative Bauhaus, which opposed the excessive rationalization and geometrization of art. In 1957 he signed the manifesto Against Style, which sought to affirm the unrepeatability of the work of art. For Enrico Baj, these are years of great reflection and intellectual exchange thanks to his contacts with international artists such as Lucio Fontana, Piero Manzoni, Joe Colombo, Lucio Del Pezzo, Giò Pomodoro, Max Ernst, Marcel Duchamp and Yves Klein.In his artistic research, which is expressed in polymateric and polychromatic collages, two tendencies can be distinguished: a more playful and ironic one, in which the pleasure of painting with all kinds of materials prevails, and a more sarcastic one, marked by a strong commitment that is expressed in the generals and military parades of the 1960s, and even more so in the works of the 1970s, such as The Funeral of the Anarchist Pinelli (1972) and The Apocalypse (1979). from then on, his critique of contemporaneity became increasingly strong. In the series Metamorphosis and Metaphors (1988), Baj develops an imaginary world dominated by kitsch, the only style that, according to the artist, succeeds in representing today's culture. The 1990s saw cycles of tribal masks, felts and totems expressing modern primitivism by recycling everyday objects.Numerous were the artist's relationships with Italian and foreign poets and writers, which led to various collaborations and the creation of several artist's books, accompanied by original prints or multiples.Baj died in Vergiate (Varese) on June 16, 2003.1970sHeight: 50 cmWidth: 71 cmDepth: 2 centimeters
