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.
