Multiple made with shells on damask in four versions of different colors (black, green, red, white) // Enrico Baj’s Catherine Henriette de Balzac d’Etrague Marquise de Verneuil is a playful and intricate mixed-media artwork, crafted with an assortment of shells arranged on damask fabric. This composition combines natural materials and a fine textile background to create a whimsical portrait of the historical figure Catherine Henriette de Balzac, rendered in a stylized, almost caricature-like form. The use of shells to form the shapes of the face and body adds texture and dimension to the piece, giving it a tactile and almost sculptural quality. The delicate pattern of the damask contrasts with the rough, organic shapes of the shells, resulting in a dynamic interplay between texture and form. This work exemplifies Baj’s unconventional approach to art, blending humor, history, and mixed media to create unique, thought-provoking pieces. Produced in four color variations (black, green, red, and white), it reflects Baj’s fascination with materiality and his ability to transform everyday objects into art.

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.
