An Italian artist best known for his political collages, prints, paintings, and sculptures. His work was influenced by a variety of social and scientific themes, including nuclear warfare, the pseudo-philosophy ‘pataphysics, and human sexuality, which he explored through abstract, child-like imagery. Early in his artistic career, the artist engaged in political dissidence, and created works that critiqued current affairs. Along with artist Asger Jorn, he founded the Movimento Nucleare in 1951, a collection of artists who critiqued the use of nuclear power after the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Baj also was associated with the European movement CoBrA, and worked alongside progressive artists and intellectuals. His works can be found in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, The Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Tate Gallery in London, among others.
