Engraving, etching on paper // Personnage de guerre by Enrico Baj, created in 1971, is an etching that embodies Baj’s critical stance on militarism and authority. The figure depicted wears a uniform adorned with medals, yet its body is filled with intricate, swirling patterns that contrast with the stark green background. The face, composed of bold, angular lines, appears both expressive and mask-like, conveying a sense of detachment or anonymity. The detailed engravings within the figure's form suggest a complexity beneath the uniform, perhaps alluding to the multifaceted nature of identity, power, and the human condition. This limited edition piece captures Baj's satirical and thought-provoking style, critiquing the glorification of war and its impact on society.

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.
