The Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando presents an exhibition dedicated to Oriol Maspons (1928-2013), a prominent photographer of the Barcelona School. His work, characterized by an intuitive approach and a blend of the mundane and the surreal, captured the essence of Spain during the late Franco regime and the transition to democracy. The exhibition features a selection of Maspons' photographs from the Academy's own funds, complemented by bibliographic and hemerographic materials from the Pedro Melero / Marisa Llorente collection. Maspons, who began his career in the 1950s and became a professional photographer known for his reports, portraits, and advertising work, was influenced by masters like Catalá-Roca and members of the Parisian Group Los 30 x 40, including Robert Doisneau and Henri Cartier-Bresson. His career spanned nearly half a century, with his work gaining wider public recognition from the 1970s onwards and featured in numerous exhibitions and anthologies globally.
