Personnage de guerre

Enrico Baj's Catherine de Vivonne Marquise de la Brosse, 1972, mixed-media portrait embroidered with silk on damask, featuring bold colors and abstract shapes.

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 Art Nucleare?

Arte Nucleare was the name of an artist group founded in Milan in 1951. The group aimed to create art that responded to the dangers and technologies of the nuclear age. Their works often utilized automatic techniques and depicted devastated landscapes and mushroom clouds, reflecting the anxieties of a world on the brink of nuclear catastrophe.
