SYNOPSIS
Pompous, self-important generals and clumsy, surreal ladies, excessively adorned. Puppets. These are the iconic figures left to us by Enrico Baj, expressing his antimilitarism and disdain for authority.
His entire body of work is marked by the desire, through art and irony, to distort, dismantle, and reinvent traditions and clichés.
We explore the grand house in Vergiate, a fascinating 1920s residence in the province of Varese, where Baj lived with his family and where his wife, Roberta, has carefully preserved his memory. A journey into the life and work of the man and the artist.
