Abstract

This article discusses the intimate writing of the Catalan painter Joan Ponç (1927-1984) to delineate part of his history in Brazil, whose transit through the Brazilian cultural-artistic environment was set in a narrative crystallized in two ways: in his pictorial production, in his diary and correspondence, cultivated during his stay in São Paulo and on his return to Catalonia. To scrutinize its hybrid nature, configured between the world of “I” and that of others, the analysis will explore personal archives of the painter and his Brazilian former students through an essay type of writing, with the aim of delving into the possibilities of approaching the recovery of a rearranged and recreated past by a hand that paints and writes.
