{"product_id":"enrico-baj-senza-titolo-2","title":"Enrico Baj - Untitled","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eEnrico Baj's subjects are the result of a meditation on various trends in contemporary art, but they also have a strong symbolic meaning. Baj, especially since the 1950s, has populated his works with grotesque figures with strange names. They are the evils of the world, interpreted by the artist in a mocking, ironic, and grotesque manner. They almost seem like figures straight out of a medieval fresco, interpreted by Baj according to a modern conception of sign and gesture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eIrony is a constant throughout Enrico Baj's work, so much so that his grotesque figures can be considered an evolution of Dadaist desecration. Furthermore, the development of this silkscreen certainly takes into account Picasso's Cubist synthesis. Baj's artistic context, however, must also consider other factors, which are linked to Informel or Abstract Expressionist aesthetics. As can also be seen in this silkscreen, the line is repetitive and serial, and the subject is composed of a set of wavy lines and a decorative background reminiscent of wallpaper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eEnrico Baj, Milan 1924 - Vergiate 2003. After dropping out of medical school, he began his artistic career, training at the Brera Academy. In 1951, together with Dangelo, he founded the Nuclear Painting Movement, which aimed to destroy all academicism and regenerate painting through an expressive language that utilized the automatic writing techniques of Surrealism in light of the experiences of American Abstract Expressionism. Baj's work, in particular, is influenced by the irreverent irony of Dadaism, which led him to use collage and a wide variety of materials and to develop his grotesque characters.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roca Lidia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56215305617794,"sku":"LROC002","price":800.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/IMG_20190709_134409.jpg?v=1768425363","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/enrico-baj-senza-titolo-2","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
