He refers to some of the poems included in On he deixat les claus and Desa aquests llibres al calaix de baix, and also in Poemes esparsos, and he claims them as worth of an attention that they have not received so far. To read it click here.

Arnau Puig has published the article «Picasso, Dalí, Miró, J. V. Foix i el surrealisme a la cultura catalana» in his blog.

Puig shows the great contribution to plastic and intellectual creativity carried out by some artists who felt themselves as the bearers of a new seed: the internal, intimate thinking without caesura of the unconscious.

In the book entitled La porta d’entrada al Cap de Creus, art historian Mariona Seguranyes asserts the influence of the northern coast of Cap de Creus on the core of various artists’ work. Port de la Selva is believed to be the place where, under the leadership of J. V. Foix, the revival of the avant-garde with the artists’ group Dau al Set took place.
 
Joan Ponç picture evokes a boat trip of the artists of Dau al Set and J. V. Foix, from el Port de la Selva to Cadaqués, to visit Salvador Dalí.
