Not far from Milan, in the hills of the northern Italian
countryside, lies the estate of famed Italian artist Enrico Baj.
This jewel of a book offers a unique lens through which to consider
a true artistic giant of the late twentieth century associated with
Dada, Surrealism, Art Informel, and CoBrA, as well as Nuclear Art,
a movement he cofounded. Organized as a tour of the artist s home,
from full rooms designed with a great attention to detail to entire
walls covered floor to ceiling with paintings by the artist to a
headboard carved directly into a wall, almost every surface of the
house is covered in work made by Baj himself. While his subject
matter may have been deeply serious (many of Baj s works reveal an
obsession with nuclear war and the abuse of political power), as
this book shows, his work was always playful and vibrant, often
incorporating bits of found materials like military medals,
seashells, rope, and twine. Whether one focuses on the luxurious
trim and tassel of a bedroom curtain or the deeply personal
arrangement of treasured sculptures on a dressing room table, every
corner of the estate is energized by the element of surprise. This
book showcases the artist s individual touch and provides a wealth
of playful vignettes to inspire homeowners, collectors, and artists
alike.
