How cosmopolitan, elegant, subtle, committed and influential can be Barcelona? Nearly 300 photographs, from the nineteenth century to the present time, give an answer to this question, a journey that shows why Barcelona projects such an attractive image to the world.
Top photographers gather in these pages to portray the city. Dramatic images of Cartier-Bresson, Gerda Taro and Chim during the Civil War contrast with the fresher look of Colita and Miserachs or the sophistication and glamour of Avedon and Helmut Newton. But also including the work of Pérez de Rozas as a chronicler of the city, or photos by Arissa, Català-Roca, Falco, Malet, Forcano, Plossu, Koudelka, Scianna or Salvans.
