Joan Ponç (1927-1984)

Born in Barcelona, the painter Joan Ponç painting with Ramón Rogent. In 1948, he became the head of the major artistic movement ‘Dau al Set’, whose members were Catalan artists and writers. ‘Dau al Set‘ (seven -sided dice) was linked to the pre-war tradition of surrealism in Barcelona. The group had an enormous impact on the development of modern art after the Second World War in Spain. The mid-1950s brought Ponç to Brazil, where he founded the groups l’Espai, and Taüll. Joan Ponç has exhibited in Barcelona, ??New York, Paris, Rio de Janeiro, Tokyo, Madrid, and in several other cities.
