The Thursday 28 of April, the Setba Foundation opens Dear master Català-Roca. The exhibition tries to delve into the history of Barcelona from the master's hand Català-Roca and claim the figure of the photographer and his mastery of light, in a time when what prevails is the digital photography and photo retouching.
The exhibition is set up in three parts: dialogues, portraits and objects.
The main rooms host a dialogue between the work of Català-Roca and ten contemporary photojournalists: Sandra Balsells, Andreu Català, Colita, Pepe Encinas, Joan Guerrero, Kim Manresa, Jordi Pol, Leopoldo Pomes, Txema Salvans and Tino Soriano.
Català-Roca had a dual role as a photographer: on the one hand, the photojournalist, which brings us closer to the daily lives of the people and the streets of Barcelona or other cities and on the other hand, the portraitist of reknown characters, mainly figures linked the world of art and culture, as well as anonymous faces.
Because of this, in the Llimona room you can see portraits of artists and known characters by Catalan-Roca, done between 1950 and 1975.
In addition, the exhibition will feature a number of unique pieces that belonged to the photographer: optical, photographic equipment and cameras, even his Hasselblad.
