The horrors of the Spanish Civil War have been documented and interpreted in various media--from Dalí's Soft Construction with Boiled Beans (Premonition of Civil War) as a forewarning to the war to Picasso's Guernica, an ever-controversial and definitive piece of both art and history.
This exhibition showcases the work of renowned Catalan photojournalist, Agustí Centelles, who documented the Civil War during his time as part of the Republican resistance effort. Fleeing Spain after the Republican defeat, he also captured the nine months he spent at the Bram refugee camp.
The negatives of his work remained hidden in France until Centelles himself retrieved them after Franco's death in 1975. For the first time, Centelles images will be on display in Paris, featuring over 100 prints.
Note: this exhibition is at the Jeu de Paume at À l'Hôtel de Sully.
