Res no és mesquí,Guinovart i els poetes
Josep Guinovart.
Centre d'Etudes Catalans a París.
The exhibition, curated by Manuel Guerrero, brings together a series of works that bear witness to the importance of poetic art in the plastic career of Josep Guinovart. The artist, who was linked to Dau al Set in the 40's and 50's, always expressed his admiration for Lorca, who was the author who made him discover the strength of the image and the poetic language .
The other decisive author in the work of Guinovart is Joan Salvat-Papasseit. The social commitment of the avant-garde poet and lyrical and at the same time popular in Salvat-Papasseit was closely linked to Guinovart's artistic, direct and overwhelming work.
The illustrations for the edition of the poetic work of Salvat-Papasseit in 1962 were emblematic for the cultural resistance of the progressive Catalanism of the moment.
