Antoni Campañà - Scarecrow
Technique: Gelatin silver on paper
Artist Biography: Antoni Campañà was born at the same time as photojournalism, a field in which he made his name as a sports reporter and pioneer of the tourist postcard. Before his thirtieth birthday, Campañà had achieved widespread national and international recognition for his refined mastery of bromoil. In the years before the civil war, he received numerous awards and consolidated his position as an artist. He was a member of Agrupació Fotogràfica de Catalunya and in 1933 he traveled to Munich to train with the photographer Willy Zielke. He carried out an important work of experimentation and innovation, thus transcending the pictorialist parameters and becoming an unparalleled referent of experimental photography in Spain. From those early 1930s, we have compositions such as Tracció de sang (1933), framed within the genre portrait of farming and tradition. At the outbreak of the Civil War, Campañà's political commitment made its way through his gaze and led him to compose an 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 stored in red boxes, which come to light in La caja roja (2019), by reporter Plàcid Garcia-Planas, historian Arnau Gonzàlez i Vilalta and photographer David Ramos, published in Catalan and Spanish by Comanegra and by Éditions du Seuil in French. From March 18 to July 18, 2021 will take place at the MNAC (Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya) the exhibition La guerra infinita. Antoni Campañà.
