The Artist

Enrico Baj

Born in Milan, Italy, in 1924, Enrico Baj was an artist of his time. His early career was shaped by the horrors of World War Two and the threat of nuclear war in the 1950s. Often at odds with the military-style of government that Italy was under at the time, his works had a radical political and social edge. Although he came from a wealthy family, he subscribed to anarchism and left Italy in 1944 so he wouldn’t be conscripted to take part in the Second World War. He was an originator of the Arte Nuclearia genre, which used art to criticise the military leadership seemingly taking the world towards a nuclear apocalypse.
