Enrico Baj
He was born in Milan in 1924. Painter, printmaker and writer on art.
Studied part-time at the Brera Academy and then took a law degree.
Began to paint again 1946-47, soon developing an abstract tachiste
style with linear signs. Founded the “Nuclear Art Movement” with
Sergio Dangelo in 1951 and in the following years sought to
establish contacts with avant-garde artists in other countries. First
one-man exhibition with Dangelo at the Galleria San Fedele, Milan,
1951. Joined “Jorn's Mouvement International pour une Bauhaus
Imaginiste” in 1954 and with him organised the “International
Centre for Ceramics” at Albisola Marina. Developed a more
figurative style with humorous caricature-like personages and from
1955 began to make use of collage (cotton, mattresses, glass, etc.),
both alone and with oil paints. Contacts with Fontana, Manzoni,
Klein and from 1960 with the French “Nouveaux Realistes”. Series
of humorously ironic paintings of generals, 'decorated persons',
furniture, etc. and modifications of other artists' paintings. In 1962
met André Breton, who included an essay on him in the third
edition of “Le Surréalisme et la Peinture”. Died in Vergiate
(Varese) on June 2003

IO COME KANDINSKJI
We also looked at
some Kandinskij’s
paints, then we tried
to make one paint
like him
Dopo aver osservato alcuni
quadri di Kandinskij,
abbiamo provato a farne uno
anche noi
Kandinskji “Composizione X”
We coloured our
sheet with wax
colours. Then we put
on paper-scotch …
Abbiamo colorato con i
pastelli a cera il foglio.
Poi in alcuni punti
abbiamo messo dello
scotch di carta …
… poi abbiamo
coperto tutto con
la tempera nera
…
… then we
covered all the
work with black
water colour …
… infine,
abbiamo tolto lo
scotch e … ecco
i nostri quadri
alla Kandinskij!
… then, we
removed the
scotch and …
here there’re our
Kandinskij like
paints!
