Raimundo de Madrazo
The third representative—after his grandfather José and his father Federico—of the most renowned dynasty of 19th-century Spanish painting, Raimundo de Madrazo developed his entire artistic career between Paris, where he arrived at age 20, and the United States, where he conducted various portrait tours starting in 1897 while his role in the French art scene gradually diminished. His body of work centers around genre painting and portraiture. In the former, he stood out for the exquisite detail of his interiors and his skills as a master colorist. As a portraitist, he was one of the favorite painters of Parisian and American high society.
Organized in collaboration with the Meadows Museum in Dallas, this exhibition is the first major retrospective of one of the most cosmopolitan painters and finest technicians of his time.

Edward Weston
The Matter of Shapes
Edward Weston (Illinois, 1886 – California, 1958) played a key role in the transformation of photography into an autonomous artistic language. Co-founder of Group f/64, Weston championed a new aesthetic based on formal precision, simplicity, and the poetic intensity of the image. His work, deeply rooted in the American landscape and visual culture, reflects the transition from Pictorialism to Straight Photography, of which he was one of the main proponents. The more than 200 photographs included in the exhibition offer a comprehensive overview of his entire career, from his Pictorialist beginnings to his recognition as one of the foremost figures of Straight Photography.
Exhibition organized with the support of the Center for Creative Photography at the University of Arizona, Tucson.

Edward Weston
The matter of shapes
Strongly linked to the landscape and cultural history of North America, the work of Edward Weston (Illinois, 1886 – California, 1958) offers a unique perspective on the process of photography’s consolidation as an artistic medium. This extensive anthology spans all stages of his photographic production, from his initial interest in Pictorialism to his establishment as one of the central figures in affirming the poetic and speculative value of Straight Photography. A co-founder of the f/64 Group, his images are key to understanding the new aesthetics and the emerging American lifestyle in the United States during the Interwar period.

Joan Andreu Puig Farran
A Decade of Turmoil (1929-1939)
A press photographer since 1929, Joan Andreu Puig Farran (Lleida, 1904 – Barcelona, 1982) worked for various newspapers published in Barcelona, such as La Humanitat, L’Opinió and La Vanguardia during the Second Republic. Due to this work, he was forced into exile in France in 1939; upon his return in 1945, he could not resume his work as a photojournalist. After his conviction and subsequent purging, he was able to return to photography, but only in the fields of advertising and tourism.
Puig Farran never had the opportunity to exhibit his photographs during his lifetime. This exhibition recovers his work from a period of significant social and political turbulence through a large number of period copies from the La Vanguardia archive, complemented by exhibition prints made from the glass plates preserved by his heirs, along with a selection of the newspapers in which his images were published.
