Enrico Baj, Apocalypse, artist's book with one original etching

The artist's book by the master of the 1900s Enrico Baj. Only six hundred exemplary of this volume contain an original etching of Baj, printed in Milan in 1994 with the presses of Giorgio Upiglio and signed by the author. It contained the texts of Umberto Eco, Edoardo Sanguineti, Jan van der Marck, Pietro Bellasi, Edgar Morin and Roberto Senesi. There are many ways to think the apocalypse but the idea of Baj could be defined as “critical apocalypse”, where the thought doesn't propose remedies but it believes in the positive energy of its own of alarm. In this text the artist prepared a big apocalyptic scenography that tries to answer to a native and deep vocation of the evolution. The etching is signed lower center.
