Enrico Baj, Ubu by Baj, screen printing, 80x60 cm, 1970

Screen printing by Enrico Baj: the artist represents one of his more interesting characters: Ubu the General, clear reference to the Alfred Jarry theatral character.

Stongly grotesque that reveal in advance the trend of surrealism, dada and theatre of the absurd. Symbol of the lower human basic instinct and of the dense and arrogant power. Once again the militaires are deformed and lecherous. Interesting is the use of  bright colors that make the artwork pritty eye-catching.

The artwork is signed bottom right and numbered 95/300 bottom left. The screen printing is published on "Baj. Catalogo generale delle stampe originali" at page 105.
