Photography

Fishermen collecting their nets on the Moll de Pescadors in Barcelona. The photographer captured a foggy moment that gives a special ambience to the image. The X. Agramont Cruanyes collection captures a series of scenes from coastal Catalonia (including the port of Barcelona), with vessels, fishing activities and tourism from the 1950s to the ‘90s. It uses a highly sensitive language and pays special attention to everyday elements.
