Enrico Baj, Punching General, 1970 - Long A cartoon-like drawing of an armless military person who is decorated with various medals and honors. The person is bald, with a nose that resembles a pyramid and contrasting eyes with blue rings around them. The person resembles a statue and gives the viewer an unusual feeling.
Enrico Baj, Le General Mechant et Decore (Angry General with Decorations), 1961 - Long An abstract collaged painting of a creepy ginger-bread shaped person wearing elements of a uniform: a maroon sash, military pins, and epaulets. His hair is made of a fringe of an epaulet that frames a face with distorted features. Its right eye is round and bulging, white with a large black pupil; its left is a red iris and a white pupil outlined by green, with a brown raised nose and black horizontal strokes form a mouth with three small white teeth. The body is composed of many green, brown, and tan blotches that almost look like mold or moss. The background is maroon with golden floral decoration. The painting is in a distressed wood gold-and-brown-painted frame.
