A hundred years after his birth, an exhibition pays tribute to Enrico Baj (Milan 1924 – Vergiate 2003), the master of Dames and Generals, Meccano and Ultramen, an irreverent genius, anarchic and carefree, a pataphysical artist. For the first time, he is explored through the voices of the great writers of the twentieth century who intertwined their words with his lyrical and caustic images. From André Breton to Raymond Queneau, from Marcel Proust to Italo Calvino, from Edoardo Sanguineti to Umberto Eco. The phantasmagoria of his allegorical characters also reflects his vigorous activity as a writer and theorist, establishing Baj as a prominent figure among the European intellectuals of the last century in Milan.
