Trepat [Signed]

A century after its foundation, the Trepat Collection reveals itself as an unknown treasure in the history of photography. The MACSA (Museum of Archeology of Agricultural Systems), in collaboration with the historical archive Trepat Tarrega (Lleida), has decided to present an exhibition commemorating the centenary of the Trepat factories. Edited by Joan Fontcuberta, himself a creator but also historian and author of numerous works on the history of Spanish photography. This book published by Éditions Bessard accompanies the exhibition. In his introductory essay, the curator writes: “Looking at these works from a historical perspective and beyond its purely utilitarian origins, the images here masterfully show the experimental path of avant-garde movements: from cubism to new objectivity, from preciosism to surrealism, from constructivism to social realism...".
