The fabrics, removed from their daily ordinariness, take on the quality of a totally and anti-rhetorically autre space: it must be specified that, then much more than now, the \"high\" practice of art felt authentic horror for everything that had any relation whatsoever with what was referred to with contempt as decoration. The estrangement that Baj makes of it is not an end in itself, because it materializes in the field of apparitions of an increasingly openly monstrous figural theatre, with \"body snatchers\" in the form of repellent anthropoid little monsters, of which it is the perfect ancestor <em>Trillal\u00ec-Trillal\u00e0<\/em>, 1955, at the birth of the \"generals\", explicit nephews of Ubu and masks of a grotesque spectacle of the inane: <em>Il generale Eisenhower sulla passeggiata a mare di Nizza col suo piccolo cane<\/em>, 1956, is the progenitor of a long lineage that will extend over the decades.<\/p>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">from: <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.fondazionearnaldopomodoro.it\/it\/libri-su-artisti-vari\/22446-enrico-baj-bambini-ultracorpi-altre-storie\" target=\"_self\"><em>Enrico Baj.
