In 1980 Josep Roca-Sastre (Terrassa, 1928-Barcelona, 1997) dedicated his speech of acceptance into the Academia de Bellas Artes de Sant Jordi to Ramon Rogent (Barcelona, 1920-Plan d’Orgon, France, 1958). Roca-Sastre, forged, according to Francesc Fontbona, in the “wake of Cubism and the schematic realism popular in Paris at the time”, found in Rogent – reviver of Catalan art of the 1940’s – a suitable guide for his artistic activity. From Rogent to Roca-Sastre traces an area of creative confluence between two artists who shared physical space – Rogent’s studio – geometric, rhythmic and compositional affinities, as well as a revitalising and integrating vision of the arts.
