Temporary Exhibitions: Edward Weston: The Matter of Forms and Joan Andreu Puig Farran: The Turbulent Decade (1929-1939)

Edward Weston. The Matter of Forms

Strongly linked to the landscape and to North American cultural history, the work of Edward Weston (Illinois, 1886 – California, 1958) allows us to discern a unique perspective on the process of consolidation of photography as an artistic medium and its relevant role in the context of modernism in the visual arts. This extensive anthology covers all the stages of his photographic production, from his initial interest in pictorialism to his consolidation as one of the central figures in the affirmation of the poetic and speculative value of direct photography. Co-founder of the f/64 Group, his images are key to understanding the new aesthetics and new American lifestyle that emerged in the United States between the wars.

Joan Andreu Puig Farran: The Turbulent Decade (1929-1939)

A photojournalist for the daily press since 1929, Joan Andreu Puig Farran (Lleida, 1904-Barcelona, 1982) worked for newspapers such as La Humanitat, Esplai, El Matí, L’Opinió and La Vanguardia during the Republic. With the outbreak of war, he moved to the Aragon and Mallorca fronts. In 1939, he went into exile in France, from where he returned to Barcelona in 1945. Unable to resume his work as a photojournalist, he devoted himself to industrial and tourist photography and partnered with his friend Antoni Campañà, with whom he created the CYP postcard stamp. Puig Farran never presented his photographs in an exhibition. This exhibition recovers his work during years of intense social and political unrest through a large number of original period copies from the La Vanguardia archive.
