[vc_row][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_empty_space height=”12px”][vc_column_text]Del 7 October\u00a0to 13 Desember, the\u00a0Universitat\u00a0Aut\u00f2noma de Barcelona\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>presents the exhibition\u00a0La belleza de la m\u00e1quina\u00a0<\/em>about the most significant artistic work by\u00a0Ramon de Ba\u00f1os (1890-1980)<\/strong>\u00a0regarding industrial photography.\u00a0Thanks to extensive research of the\u00a0Historical Archive,<\/strong>\u00a0today the Naturgy\u00a0Foundation is releasing an unpublished selection of photographs that rediscover Ramon de Ba\u00f1os, known until now as a pioneer of Catalan cinema, as a photographer. The collection of photographs that have been brought to light have their own visual code and offer a new perspective that allows us to enjoy the beauty of industrial photography. These photographs now make up an extraordinary graphic document of a world that no longer exists.<\/p>\n

The company\u00a0Catalana de Gas y Electricidad S.A<\/strong>.<\/strong>, just like many other companies of the time, carried out photography projects to document and publish its heritage and capacity of production. Despite the first collaborations between Ramon de Ba\u00f1os and Catalana de Gas in 1929 for the Universal Exhibition in Barcelona, he was not incorporated as a \u2018photographer attached to the Technical Services\u2019 until much later. The main project that Ramon de Ba\u00f1os carried out for the company was called\u00a01947 Album<\/strong>, a collection of 58 photographs of industrial machinery and architecture. It is a collection of images that had a propaganda objective and wanted to show the important asset the company once had, its modernity and its extraordinary business activity.<\/p>\n

Ramon de Ba\u00f1os develops his own photographic style that enables him to embellish and glorify machinery and the industrial landscape.<\/strong>\u00a0They are well-framed and well-structured pieces with a careful arrangement of the objects represented. The images are not representations of a truthful reality but rather, while avoiding a human presence, reveal the architectural magnificence of factories and the beauty of machinery. Hence, despite fulfilling a propaganda purpose, these images convey a distinctly spiritual emotion. The photographs have been altered by outlining certain elements with the finest of brushes, airbrushing techniques, paints, pencils and fine cutting tools. This meticulous work enabled him to define surfaces and planes of light, clean up irregularities and obscure imperfections to achieve the incredibly personal lyrical tone of his compositions.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_empty_space height=”12px”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1569929152719{padding-top: 10px !important;padding-right: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;padding-left: 25px !important;background-color: #004571 !important;border-radius: 3px !important;}”]<\/p>\n
