JOAN PONÇ BONET (Barcelona, 1927 - Saint-Paul, France, 1984). "Eyes, circles, owls", 1970-1976. Mixed media on paper. Measurements: 21 x 13,5 cm; 37 x 29 cm (frame). Drawing conceived for the book "Eyes, circles, owls", by Luis Goytisolo. The head of the drawing appears published in Goytisolo's 1970 book. According to the annotations on the drawing, it was begun in Cadaqués and finished in Colliure in 1976. Painter and draftsman, he was trained in Barcelona, in the workshop of Ramon Rogent and at the Academy of Plastic Arts with Angel Lopez-Obrero. After dedicating himself to painting and drawing in anonymity, he held his first individual exhibition in 1946, at the Art Gallery of Bilbao, which was to be his definitive consolidation within the national artistic panorama. In 1948 he founded, together with Tharrats, Puig, Cuixart, Tàpies and Brossa among others, the avant-garde group Dau al Set. Selected by Eugenio D'Ors, he participated in the Salón de los Once in Madrid in 1951 and 1952. In 1952 he took part in the Hispano-American Biennial, and the following year he spent some time in Paris, where he met Joan Miró and was able to exhibit at the Musée de la Villa. On the latter's recommendation, Ponç gained access to Brazilian artistic circles, settling in São Paulo from 1953 to 1962. In 1954, the year of the dissolution of Dau al Set, he held an exhibition at the city's Museum of Modern Art, with such success that the organization acquired all of the works. In Brazil he visited the equatorial jungles, where he was impressed by the fauna, especially insects, which he incorporated into his imagery. In 1955 he founded the Taüll group with Marc Aleu, Modest Cuixart, Jaume Guinovart, Jaume Muxart, Mercadé, Tàpies and Tharrats. After returning to Catalonia due to an illness, as a fully consecrated artist, he shows his work in New York, Rio de Janeiro, Bonn, Paris, Frankfurt, Geneva, Antibes and several Spanish cities. In 1965 he won the International Drawing Grand Prize at the São Paulo Biennial. Ponç's paintings present phantasmagoric images that are at the same time painful and tortured, in which the subconscious is the protagonist. For the painter, art is nothing more than an introduction to the mystery and secrets of the spirit. More a draughtsman than a painter, his work is extremely detailed and meticulous. Ponç's production can be divided into six periods: the Dau al Set period (1947), the Brazilian period (1958), the metaphysical-geometric period (1969), the metaphysical characters period (1970), the acupainting period (1971) and a final period of synthesis (1972). In his work Ponç manifests himself as a sorcerer artist, who conceives art as magic, as an extraordinary power, a spell, something supernatural.

SALVADOR DALÍ I DOMÈNECH (Figueres, Girona, 1904 - 1989). "Christ in perspective". 1972. Ink on offset paper. Signed, dated and dedicated. Measurements: 32 x 40 cm; 55 x 82 cm (frame). Original drawing on paper that Dalí made in 1972, twenty years later than his painting "Christ of St. John of the Cross", where the crucified is also seen foreshortened, from a zenithal point of view. Dalí explores in these versions ways of suggesting the celestial contemplation of Jesus' suffering, assuming the point of view of angels or a divine entity. In the 1951 painting, the title referred to the 16th century Spanish mystic and poet known for his writings on the union of the soul with God through spiritual love. The choice of this title suggests a connection between Dalí's vision of crucifixion and deep spirituality. In the 1970s, Dalí, who was always moved by a deep spirituality, resumed his plastic reflections on themes of faith, redemption, the afterlife and the divine nature. Painter and sculptor, Salvador Dalí was one of the leading exponents of the surrealist movement. His work greatly influenced the course of surrealism during the twenties and thirties, being acclaimed as the creator of the paranoiac-critical method, an essential combination of the real with the imaginary. Most of his production is gathered in the Dalí Theater-Museum in Figueras, followed by the collection of the Salvador Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg (Florida), the Reina Sofía in Madrid, the Salvador Dalí Gallery in Pacific Palisades (California), the Espace Dalí in Montmartre (Paris) or the Dalí Universe in London.
