From Pictorialism to Modernity

Events
Date: July 14 - October 29
Location: Arxiu Fotogràfic de Barcelona

History exhibition of Catalonia photography. The Arxiu Fotogràfic de Barcelona and the Agrupació Fotogràfica de Catalunya present the exhibition – “From Pictorialism to Modernity. The Centenary of the Agrupació Fotogràfica de Catalunya”. This is a selection from the Association's collection spanning the 'pictorialist' movement, which flourished during the 1920s and 1930s and the new aesthetic approaches that emerged during the innovation of the 1950s. These are the two key moments in the history of photography in Catalonia.

The Agrupació Fotogràfica de Catalunya has become a gateway to photography and a breeding ground for new generations of photographers in the city of Barcelona. A hundred years of intense activity in Barcelona firmly established a tradition of societies and photography clubs that, from the mid-19th century onwards, supported the technical —and above all, artistic— practice of photography in the city.
