Enrico Baj (1924–2003) was a prominent Italian artist and a distinctive voice in the post-war avant-garde.
He co-founded the Nuclear Art Movement in Milan in 1951.
Known for his imaginative use of collage and unconventional materials, he combined humour with social criticism.
His celebrated “Generals” are among his most recognisable subjects, offering a playful yet pointed satire of power and military authority.

DESCRIPTION
A striking, colourful composition depicting one of Enrico Baj’s characteristic “Generals”. The stylised figure combines bright ceremonial sashes, expressive metallic-effect eyes and a gold-toned medal against a squared background.

Reflective details and raised textures give the composition a distinctive decorative presence. The work bears “baj” at the lower right.

Presented in a reddish wooden frame with glass, included in the sale. The colours remain vivid, and the work is in excellent condition.
