THE ENDLESS WAR

ANTONI CAMPAÑÀ

endless-war

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 A capsule of time that has been hidden for more than seventy years, with hundreds of unpublished images that are a great contribution to the photographic heritage of the country, and which have made Campañà one of the great names in photography of the 20th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.

From 19 March to 18 July 2021

Price: €6

Commissioned by:
Toni Monné, Arnau Gonzàlez i Vilalta, Plàcid Garcia-Planas and Roser Cambray, curator of the Museu Nacional.

This is the unknown story of a photographer who consciously hid five thousand five hundred photographs of the Civil War in a red box.
