Enrico Baj, original lithographic card from 1965, with hand silvered frame
Original lithographic art piece by Enrico Baj. The piece is a New Year’s greeting card created in 1965, executed as an etching (eau-forte) with collage made for Galerie Pierre in Stockholm, Sweden. Signed not by hand but in the etching and printed on Arches paper.
Enrico Baj was an Italian artist and writer associated with the art movements of Surrealism and Nuclear Art. Baj's artworks are characterized by their whimsical, satirical, and provocative nature. He often incorporated elements of collage, assemblage, and painting to create his distinctive style. His works often featured symbolic imagery, absurd juxtapositions, and a combination of different materials, including found objects, toys, and military paraphernalia. Baj used these elements to explore themes such as war, politics, consumerism, and the dehumanization of society.
The piece is framed with a hand silvered antique frame, with cool-toned dark gray passepartout, and placed on a green-gray background.
