Unlike his contemporaries: Willem de Kooning, Franz Kline and Jackson Pollock, Enrico Baj eschewed the abstract expressionism that took root in the post World War II years, and opted instead for quirk and kitsch. Known for his cartoonish paintings of political and military leaders of the day, Baj became the father of the Nuclear Art movement.
This lavishly illustrated book is dedicated to the art and life of the artist Enrico Baj, who lived in Vergiate, Italy. The book will bridge the worlds of art and interiors by showing Enrico Baj's artworks as displayed in his home. The book documents the house as it stands today and also includes details of individual artworks, historical artifacts, and family memorabilia.
