Description
Antoni Campañà - Scarecrow

Técnica: Silver jelly on paper

Biografía del Artista: Antoni Campañà was born at the same time as photojournalism, a field in which he made a name for himself as a sports reporter and pioneer of the tourist postcard. Before he was thirty, Campañà had achieved wide national and international recognition for his refined mastery of bromoleum. In the years before the civil war, he received numerous awards and consolidated his position as an artist. He was a member of the Agrupació Fotogràfica de Catalunya and in 1933 he travelled to Munich to train with the photographer Willy Zielke. He carried out important work of experimentation and innovation, thus transcending pictorialist parameters and becoming an unparalleled reference for experimental photography in Spain. From those early 1930s, we have compositions such as Tracció de sang (1933), framed within the costumbrist portrait of farming and tradition. When the Civil War broke out, Campañà's political commitment emerged through his gaze and led him to compose extensive photographic documentation of the war. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Campañà's visual testimony remained hidden for decades. Thirty years after his death, his family found the images kept in red boxes, which are brought to light in La caja roja (The Red Box) (2019), by the reporter Plàcid Garcia-Planas, the historian Arnau Gonzàlez i Vilalta and the photographer David Ramos, published in Catalan and Spanish by Comanegra and by Éditions du Seuil in French. From March 18 to July 18, 2021, the exhibition The Infinite War. Antoni Campañà will take place at the MNAC (Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya).
