a representing outstanding of the Spanish photographic pictorialismo.
Whereas in his photographies he tries to leave shaped Spain without
changes, traditional Spain, in his professional activity participated
in the technological advances of the moment: he was founding of Aeronautical
the Construcciones company (CASA) and director of the automobile company
SEAT, where president in 1950 was named.
He is to on paper emphasize his technique to the direct coal Fresón
with whic h
he was able to smooth the contours and to emphasize the details, giving
samples of unha great meticulosidad. The photographies that we contemplated
have much of artisan, which is appraised in one first line of vision.
The artistic intentionality is reflected in all the factors that conform
the image: in the selection of the scene, in the composition or the
creation of the picture. The photographies pertaining to the Spain
series: types and suits, of which we expose  only
one small part here, were in origin 217 copies in paper. The sample

the original ones. This photographer in 1936 collaborated in a special

later a selection of its works was exposed in the Spanish pavilion
