Brossa, Casasses, Perejaume et l’esprit catalan : confluences et ramifications artistiques

The historical upheavals of Catalonia in the 20th century left their mark on Catalan intellectuals and artists, who committed themselves, with pens or brushes, to defend an identity that had been muzzled and trampled underfoot by forty years of Francoism.

description The historical upheavals of Catalonia in the 20th century left their mark on Catalan intellectuals and artists, who committed themselves, with pens or brushes, to defend an identity that had been muzzled and trampled underfoot by forty years of Francoism. In the last third of the twentieth century, at the heart of the years of revolt, the poetic work of Joan Brossa (1919-1998) is from start to finish a defence and illustration of the Catalan language and identity. Two other committed poets and artists, Catalans to the core, from a generation after Brossa’s, are studied here: Enric Casasses (born in 1951) and Perejaume (born in 1957). Beyond the differences, we propose to highlight the artistic and ideological confluences between them, through the analysis of texts that pay tribute to the Catalan language, the arts, the territory and land, and to the creative genius of Gaudí, Jujol or Miró.
