This eye-catching mural recalls the poets that played an important role in the first Catalan Popular Poetry Festival. Their portraits stand out in an urban landscape.
This artistic event is aimed at bringing together and remembering the participants in the Catalan Communal Poetry Festival held in Barcelona in 1970, known as the Gran Price. Named after the hall it was held in, this was a benchmark event in Barcelona and it was subsequently followed up with a further two editions. Set on finding a powerful image, Tois Estudio, the studio commissioned with creating this literary mural, reflected the profiles of five relevant poets who took part in the first poetry meeting: Gabriel Farrater, Joan Vinyoli, Rosa Leveroni, Josep Palau I Fabre and J.V. Foix. Other participants included: Agustí Bartra, Pere Quart, Salvador Espriu, Tomàs Garcés, Joan Teixidor, Joan Brossa, Joan Colomines, Jordi Sarsanedas, J. M. Llompart, Jaume Vidal i Alcover, Xavier Amorós, Joaquim Horta and Francesc Vallverdú. Other poets of the time also took part indirectly. This mural presents a literary journey, along with the others before it and which were devoted to Mercè Rodoreda and Salvador Espriu, at the junction between Carrer Numància and Carrer Anglesola, next to Diagonal.
