BAJ ENRICO (1924–2003), Italian painter and sculptor. He studied at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts from 1945 to 1948 and showed a predilection for collage from an early age. In 1951, he founded the Art Nucléaire movement with Sergio Dangelo. In the mid-1950s, Baj painted portraits of ‘Generals’, which he satirised by pasting pieces of fabric and forgotten or invented decorations onto them. Between 1959 and 1966, he became associated with the Surrealists. Enrico Baj employed the technique of collage, using a variety of rich and anachronistic materials and playing with images that were by turns naïve and caricatural. His paintings are intended to be satirical and seek to mock the petty-bourgeois or military world. Complete with tie and bow tie.
