Description
SIRVENTES
Book Summary
Sirventès is a poetic work born from the dialogue between words and art. The author, Magí Sunyer, interprets various visual and literary creations by contemporary artists, transforming paintings, sculptures, installations, and texts into poetry. The reader will find a collection that experiments with poetic form, adapting to the references that inspire it, and which offers a reading experience where artistic creation becomes raw material for lyricism.
What is it about?
Sirventès gathers poems written as interpretations of artworks from various disciplines: painting, sculpture, ceramics, collage, installations, and literature. The referenced artists include Antoni Torrell, Antoni Mas, Salvador Juanpere, Mercè Modol, Madola, Rosa Ciurana, Rufino Mesa, Guigui, Josep Queralt Sanromà, Lurdes Malgrat, and the Políedre collective. Furthermore, the book incorporates an "exquisite corpse" shared with Xavier Amorós and Aureli Ruiz, as well as a poem dedicated to Francesc Vidal and Montserrat Cortadellas. The distinctive trait of the work is the constant experimentation with poetic form, which is molded and transformed according to the demands of the artistic references that inspire it.
