Artworks by Artist: Ponc, Joan

Joan Ponç was born in the Sarrià neighborhood of Barcelona, Spain, to Gumersindo Pons and Dolors Bonet. He attended the Colegio Salesiano San Antonio de Padua de Mataró boarding school from 1940-1942, during which time he developed a keen interest in painting.

In 1946, Ponç held his inaugural solo art exhibition at the Sala Arte de Bilbao, and he crossed paths with fellow Dau al Set contributors Joan Brossa, J.V. Foix, and Arnau Puig. Over the following years, Ponç actively engaged and collaborated with pioneers of the Catalan avant-garde, including Modest Cuixart and Joan Miró. Despite the eventual dissolution of the Dau al Set group in 1954, Ponç continued exhibiting his artwork independently until 1980.
