Although Joan Brossa i Cuervo defines himself as a poet, in his work the word, image, sound and dramaturgy all take shape in a fourth dimension inherited from the concept of total art, particularly associated with Richard Wagner. Understood as a synthesis of all the poetic, visual, musical and performing arts, its long legacy extends to literary, performing, theatrical or visual poetry, object and urban poems, film scripts, opera libretti and other sound texts, prose, poster design, installations and art books. In his early years he worked with Joan Ponç on the creation of the magazine Algol; its affinity with the world of plastic art led to the involvement of other artists, such as Moisès Villèlia, Frederic Amat, Perejaume and Eduardo Chillida.
