Louis Stettner

The diversity of the themes he covers and the permanent social component of his images are the main features of the work of the American Louis Stettner (1922-2016). This exhibition aims to make a decisive contribution to the recognition of his extensive and fascinating career.

With a life that straddled New York and Paris, without ever attaching himself to either city to the detriment of the other, he remained rooted in two worlds at a time when most photographers related to only one. In this sense, his work refers to the aesthetics of both New York street photography and the poetic vision of the urban French tradition, always against the background of his social concern and his efforts to reflect the dignity of human beings.

Tina Modotti

It is almost impossible to separate the facets of artist/photographer and revolutionary/anti-fascist militant in the biographical and professional career of Tina Modotti (Udine, 1896-Mexico City, 1942). This exhibition offers for the first time a close reconstruction of her life and career in which these aspects are tightly linked, with a special attention to her activity in Spain in the years preceding the Spanish Civil War and in the central period of the conflict.

Jules Ainaud’s Catalonia (1871-1872)

Between 1871 and 1872 Jules Ainaud (Lunel, 1837-Barcelona, 1900) travelled around Catalonia on behalf of the Laurent studio, the most important firm of the time in the production and marketing of photographic images. The exhibition presents the result of that work, the authorship of which was diluted in the Laurent brand without Ainaud ever obtaining the recognition that his images deserve as an outstanding episode in the history of our photography.
