With this article in Els Marges, Lluís Cabré and Sílvia Coll-Vinent intend to demonstrate that J. V. Foix is the author of the Catalan translations, published anonimously in 1927, of two critical texts by T. S. Eliot and the third section of The Waste Land.

The cover of no. 1 of L’esprit containing the translation by Jean de Menasce (La terre mis à nu) of The Waste Land, by T. S. Eliot, has been found in the archives of the Fundació J. V. Foix. For the translation of this French version by J. V. Foix, see the article.

Comissariada per Fina Duran, l’exposició mostra el treball d’una dotzena d’artistes que plantegen una mirada diferent al patrimoni que ens arriba del passat i que va configurant la nostra memòria i la nostra identitat. Les obres van acompanyades de textos de filòsofs, crítics i historiadors de l’art
L’exposició està encapçalada pels versos de J. V. Foix:

«L’antic museu, les madones borroses,
I el pintar extrem d’avui! Càndid rampell:
M’exalta el nou i m’enamora el vell.»

Exposició 20.10.2017 – 31.01.2018 Museu d’Art de Cerdanyola
A partir de febrer del 2018: Arts Santa Mònica
