As the title suggests, it\u2019s a tribute, but also a visual comparison, with the literary poems of Charles Baudelaire (1821-1867) that fits very neatly into the framework of THE ENCHANTED APPLE, the exhibition dedicated to the period at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. &nbsp; It could actually be argued that, from a certain standpoint, Baudelaire anticipated the distress perceived by society at the end of the century, while Baracca employs his interpretation of the eponymous flowers to sketch the moods of a post-contemporary in search of new socio-political identities, with all its neuroses and sometimes aggressiveness. &nbsp; The artist from Ravenna uses painting to retrace the steps of all the great Baudelaire\u2019s poems, furnishing the public and those who read his images not so much with the French poet\u2019s mere themes, as also his impressions and moods, as he seeks to generate a vigorous dialogue within a process of Situationist identification. On the occasion of the exhibition of Les Fleurs du mal (2021), a volume was published for Cesare Baracca that features \u2013 among others \u2013 an essay by Mario Casanova, which is reproduced here.
