This exhibition presents two distinct photographic perspectives on the Spanish Civil War, focusing on Asturias between 1936 and 1937. It highlights the work of Constantino Suárez and Florentino López "Floro," showcasing the shared human experiences of suffering and resilience on both sides of the conflict.
Eighty years after the end of the Spanish Civil War, this exhibition delves into its enduring impact by presenting two different photographic viewpoints of the conflict in Asturias between July 1936 and October 1937. The display centers on the work of Constantino Suárez, an early photojournalist who documented the Republican fronts, and Florentino López "Floro," who captured the effects of the siege on Oviedo. Their archives, both preserved at the Museo del Pueblo de Asturias, reveal striking similarities despite their different affiliations, portraying a society trapped by war. Both photographers capture the same societal realities, leading to comparable results: widespread destruction, hardship, and suffering, alongside a persistent desire for life to continue. This exhibition serves as an exercise in historical memory, inviting visitors to reflect on the shared human experiences and the profound impact of the war, as depicted through the lenses of these two artists.
The exhibition is located in the temporary exhibition halls. Specific ticketing details beyond general museum admission are not provided on this page, but a downloadable brochure is available.
