Dau al Set

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dau al Set, the first post-War artistic movement in Spain, was founded in Barcelona in 1948 by poet Joan Brossa. The group had connections[citation needed] to the Surrealist and Dadist movements and stressed the importance of both the conscious and unconscious in their works. The group also had a popular magazine journal of the same name, Dau al Set. The group was inspired by the early works of Max Ernst, Paul Klee and Joan Miró. Members of Dau al Set included Joan Brossa, Antoni Tàpies, Antonio Saura, Enrique Tábara, Joan Ponc, Arnau Puig, Modest Cuixart, Manolo Millares and Joan-Josep Tharrats. Dau al Set opposed both Formalism and the formal art centers.
