Bill Brandt, A New Way of Seeing

to

KBr Fundación MAPFRE Avenida Litoral 30, 08005 Barcelona

An apprentice in Man Ray’s studio and influenced by his contemporary Brassaï, Bill Brandt is now considered  one of the founders of modern photography along with Walker Evans and Henri Cartier-Bresson. His images, which explore English society, landscape and literature, are indispensable to understanding the history of photography and even the British way of life in the mid-20th century.

Through 186 photographs taken by Brandt himself, the exhibition explores the main areas of his visual production, which covers all the genres of the photographic discipline: social documentary, portrait, nude and landscape. It also highlights the relationship of the British photographer’s work with the theories of surrealism, a movement with which he came into contact while living in Paris in the 1930s.
