Arissa. The Shadow and the Photographer, 1922-1936

"Arissa. The Shadow and the Photographer, 1922-1936" is a journey through the artistic career of Antoni Arissa, one of the most influent photographers of the catalan history. The exhibition, divided in three parts, explores the origins of the artist, and also, it ventures into his most prolific time, when he got into the photographic avantgarde, in the 30s. "Arissa. The Shadow and the Photographer, 1922-1936" contains more than 160 photos in black and white from that artist that played stunningly well with the light and the shadows. A "first class" photographic archive.
