Enrico Baj was born in Milan in 1924, city ​​in which, after finishing High School, began the study in Medicine, it will leave following the experience of World War II, in favor of the Faculty of Law. Begins to follow parallel courses of the Academy of Fine Arts of Brera, also starting to grow its network of relationships with Italian and foreign poets and writers, he held for his life.
Attentive participation of Italian avant-garde of the fifties, founder of the Nuclear, one of the most innovative artistic trends of the period, has always been open to intellectually engage with European artists and intellectuals.
Always begins in the fifties, also, a collaborare con alcune riviste d’avanguardia come “Il Gesto”, “Direzioni”, "Document Sud" and "Phases", experience that only adds to her passion for writing, leading to publication of some texts.
In these years is fervent even his exhibitions in Italy and Europe, where he promotes his art through solo and group exhibitions. To the 1952 Painting was the Manifesto of the Nuclear, while the 1957 the Cons Style, in opposition to the repetitiveness of stylistic formalism. In 1954 fonda il Mouvement internetional pour une Bauhaus imaginiste, al fine di contrastare la razionalizzazione forzata dell’arte.
Ad influenzare fortemente il suo stile sono le esperienze artistiche dadaiste. Fra le sue differenti variazioni stilistiche, are celebrated its collages made with the help of different materials. In his art prevails, very often, l’impulso di fare pittura con ogni sorta di materiale, il quale fornisce molteplici possibilità espressive. Through his works, Enrico Baj, manages to be always close to the social situation of their country, come nel caso della tela dedicata ai funerali dell’Anarchico Pinelli. Dal suo modo di operare traspare quella che viene definita: a critique of contemporary, indiscriminate use of technology, the prevalence of form over substance, alla riduzione dell’arte ad una moda, alla spettacolarizzazione ed al consumo di ogni oggetto.
Dal punto di vista politico ed ideologico, l’artista ha aderito fin da giovane al movimento anarchico e, a conferma di questo, la sua opere si è sempre dimostrata poco rispettosa nei confronti del potere, in tutte le su forme.
Si spegne a Vergiate nel 2003.
