Photography

Born in Valencia, he entered photography through the Photographic Association of Catalonia, where he became a prominent member. He stood out as a photojournalist during the Spanish Civil War, working for publications such as El Día Gráfico, La Humanidad, Diario de Barcelona, La Publicidad, and La Vanguardia, using his Leica camera. After the Republican defeat, he went into exile in France and was interned in several concentration camps, where, together with S. Pujol, he set up a clandestine photographic laboratory to document living conditions.

Once liberated, in 1942 he collaborated with the French Resistance, but returned to Barcelona in 1944. He was arrested and sanctioned by the Francoist authorities, which forced him to devote himself to commercial and advertising photography until the end of the dictatorship.

Born in Valls, he soon moved to Barcelona, where he worked for various magazines and publications such as Revista, Destino, Gaceta Ilustrada, and La Vanguardia. In 1953, he held his first solo exhibition and, from then on, illustrated a considerable number of books, particularly on artistic subjects.

His work received numerous accolades, including the City of Barcelona Award (1951 and 1952), the National Fine Arts Awards from the Ministry of Culture (1983) and from the Government of Catalonia (1991), the Cross of Sant Jordi (1992), and the Gold Medal for Artistic Merit (1993).

Born in Barcelona, he studied business expertise at La Salle. He began with reportage, advertising, and industrial photography, working with large-format cameras as well as black-and-white, color, and chemical processing laboratories. He soon entered the art world, photographing sculptures, paintings, and everything related to artistic creation.

He worked for collectors, art galleries, museums, and artists such as Miró, Tàpies, Guinovart, Subirachs, Clavé, Brossa, Plensa, Ràfols, and Hernández, among others.
