Enrico Baj Mixed Media
Italian, 1924-2003
Enrico Baj, born in Milan on October 31, 1924 and died in Vergiate on June 16, 2003, was an Italian painter, libertarian anarcho-pataphysician.
In 1950, with the painter Sergio Dangelo, he founded the Nuclear Movement (or Movimento Arte Nucleare), considered the Italian equivalent of the CoBrA movement.
In 1953, he approached the painter Asger Jorn with the aim of founding the International Movement for an imaginist Bauhaus and organized the International Ceramic Meetings of Albisola, in which the painters Matta and Roland Giguère took part.
From 1955, he composed his paintings with the most heterogeneous elements such as pieces of glass, skeins of wool, mattress canvas, watch dials. That same year, with the writer Édouard Jaguer, he created the Italian magazine Il gesto.
After meeting Mesens in London, Marcel Duchamp and Arturo Schwarz in New York, he met André Breton in Paris in 1962.
From 1965, he began a series of collages representing ladies: Dame Ninette de Valois, 1974 and Generals in ceremonial costumes overloaded with decorations: Lieutenant John Talbot, First Earl of Shrewsbury.to

Sam Gilliam Biography:
Sam Gilliam was one of the great innovators in postwar American painting. He emerged from the Washington, D.C. scene in the mid 1960s with works that elaborated upon and disrupted the ethos of Color School painting.
A series of formal breakthroughs would soon result in his canonical Drape paintings, which expanded upon the tenets of Abstract Expressionism in entirely new ways. Suspending stretcherless lengths of painted canvas from the walls or ceilings of exhibition spaces, Gilliam transformed his medium and the contexts in which it was viewed. As an artist in the nation’s capital at the height of the Civil Rights Movement, this was not merely an aesthetic proposition; it was a way of defining art’s role in a society undergoing dramatic change. Gilliam pursued a pioneering course in which experimentation was the only constant. Inspired by the improvisatory ethos of jazz, his lyrical abstractions took on an increasing variety of forms, moods, and materials.
In addition to a traveling retrospective organized by the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. in 2005, Sam Gilliam was the subject of solo exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art, New York (1971); The Studio Museum in Harlem, New York (1982); Whitney Museum of American Art, Philip Morris Branch, New York (1993); J.B. Speed Memorial Museum, Louisville, Kentucky (1996); Phillips Collection, Washington, D.C. (2011); and Kunstmuseum Basel, Switzerland (2018), among many other institutions. A semi-permanent installation of Gilliam’s paintings opened at Dia:Beacon in August 2019. His work is included in over fifty public collections, including those of the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris; Tate Modern, London; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; and the Art Institute of Chicago.

Collage
By Enrico Baj
Located in Marlow, Buckinghamshire
A very interesting and highly expressive piece by the popular Italian artist. Collage on material with rope and metal. Signed lower right.
After studying at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera from 1945 to 1948, and having gained a law degree, Baj devoted himself to art from 1950. The following year he began a career that has produced a variety of artistic creations always characterised by his fighting spirit, and has embraced a raft of different groups. He started by establishing the Nuclear Movement (Movimento Nucleare) (1951), which placed art in opposition to man's modern and threatening environment. He then founded an International Movement for an Imaginist Bauhaus, which ran counter to 'constructivist' Bauhaus. He founded the movement with Asger Jorn, one of the founders of the international group of artists Cobra. In 1955, when his work approached Lyrical Abstraction, he set up the magazine Il Gesto with the critic Edouard Jaguer and the painter Dangelo. He contributed to the manifestos Against Style in 1957, Interplanetary Art in 1959, and Painting and Reality in 1960. Between 1959 and 1966 he became linked with the Surrealists and participated with them in the official International Surrealist Exhibitions of 1959 and 1965. In 1965 the art critic Gassiot-Talabot included him in the French group Narrative Figuration (Figuration Narrative), also known as New Figuration (Nouvelle Figuration).
Although he was initially inspired by Tachism (from 'tache', the French for blot, stain), Baj showed a real taste for collage early on, altering pious images and landscapes on traditional canvases using a few dabs of paint and glued-on wallpaper. In 1956 Baj began his craze for producing heads, with Solar Heads and then heads of Generals, which he made a mockery of by sticking bits of fabric, old-fashioned soft furnishings, curtain braid, rejected clothes, and forgotten or even invented decorations on the portraits. As well as being humorous, the off-the-wall nature...
