Brossa's poetry is full of references
to visual domain. Perhaps this explains why Brossa was also engaged
in the world of plastic arts. Since the begining of his career in 1941,
he writte experimental calligramme poems. The first objectual poem Escorça
(Bark) dated from 1943, a veritable object trouvé.The first object
expressly created from two different realities (in this case, a hammer
and two-part letter) dates from 1951. However, it is after 1959 when
he began to intensify his visual questing with his Suites of visual
poetry. In these fragile compositions is the seed of many subsequent
visual poems. It was in the 1960s, and more concretely in the 1970s,
that the best-known visual and object poems of Brossa were conceived
and subsequently published. The subject material is that of his other
poems: socio-political denunciation, a reflection on the meaning of
words and things, surprising games, etc.. However, the substance is
not only words but letters and other elements, loved by Brossa, as by
Fregoli, the Carnival, sleight of hand, and so on. |
