Enrico Baj
Panoramica dei Guermantes
Short Review
The "Guermantes" are a French noblewoman used by Marcel Proust as a literary device to describe the lifestyle of certain French nobility who, completely isolated from their surroundings, spend their lives amid balls, parlor games, dinners, gossip, and various forms of misery. Enrico Baj draws inspiration from Proust's story to depict these characters, whose names are his own, in a simultaneously humorous and ironic manner, in keeping with the artist's style. Essentially, they are wooden panels covered with damask fabric, with painted inserts and various objects applied.
