Enrico Baj stated that “only fun can validly oppose the system”. Baj used play as a form of engagement and creation as a form of protest. His work was a protest against fascism, totalitarian systems, the power of the ruling class and the potential annihilation of the environment (the then new nuclear threat). The Cobra Museum of Modern Art in Amstelveen displays an extensive selection from the works from the 50s, 60s and 70s.of the Italian artist Enrico Baj (1924-2003).
