Antoni Campañà and the tensions of the 20th century.
A journey through the career of the photographer Antoni Campañà (Arbúcies, 1906 – Sant Cugat del Vallès, 1989), with special interest in the photographs that he took during the Civil War and that the family found to treasure in 2018. A set of images of great artistic quality and historical relevance that were stored by the artist himself in what we now know as the “capsa vermella”. A capsule of time that has been hidden for more than seventy years, with hundreds of unpublished images that are a great contribution to the photographic heritage of the country, and which have made Campañà one of the great names in photography of the 20th century.
