Multiple embroidered in silk on damask // Enrico Baj’s Catherine de Vivonne Marquise de la Brosse is a striking mixed-media piece, embroidered with silk on damask fabric. The artwork features a highly stylized portrait of a figure with a fragmented face, depicted in bold, contrasting colors. The facial elements are exaggerated and abstracted, with large, asymmetrical features, a distinctive hat, and vibrant patterns that create a dynamic, playful aesthetic. Baj’s use of rich textures, particularly the embroidery, adds a tactile quality to the piece, elevating it from a flat image to a three-dimensional work. The intricate stitches form patterns that contrast with the traditional elegance of the damask, blending classical and contemporary elements in a way that is both whimsical and thought-provoking. This work, produced in a limited edition, reflects Baj’s ongoing interest in combining various media to challenge traditional representations of portraiture and identity.

What is the CoBrA movement?
Artwork by Karel Appel

What is the CoBrA movement?

CoBrA stands for Copenhagen, Brussels, and Amsterdam; the group was formed with a desire to break away from the existing art movements of the time. Their critique of Western society led them to experiment and evolve into a significant international movement. CoBrA was founded on November 8, 1948, at the Notre Dame Café in Paris, where its manifesto was signed by Karel Appel, Joseph Noiret, Corneille, Christian Dotremont, Constant, and Asger Jorn. The group was united by a shared commitment to freedom in both form and color, and their work emphasized experimentation and spontaneity.
