Fotógrafo Catalá Roca. Fotografía antigua España. Pals.Gerona.Costa Brava. Vintage photo Spain Pals Cataluña rice harvest Photographer Catalá Roca.
La fotografía recoge la dura labor de la recolección de arroz en Pals. El ritmo sinuoso de la disposición de los labradores dirige perfectamente la mirada a lo largo de la imagen. La dureza de la labor queda perfectamente plasmada sin que ello quite, en modo alguno, la belleza de esta imagen.

El cultivo del arroz en el Empordà empezó en 1452, año en que se otorgó una concesión para construir un molino de arroz en Pals, acompañado de las correspondientes acequias de riego. El arroz de Pals siempre ha disfrutado de un merecido prestigio gracias al buen hacer de los agricultores de la zona y a un conjunto de factores ambientales que no se dan en otros sitios, como el clima, el sol y el agua.

Magnífica fotografía del gran artista Catalá Roca. Esta fotografía pertenece a la serie de fotografías del Archivo de la Dirección General de Turismo cuyo sello ostenta al dorso así como el propio sello del fotografo.
Es una obra maestra de un maestro de la
fotografía y demuestra, una vez más, que en la realización del Archivo
fotografico de la Dirección General de Turismo participaron m los mejores fotógrafos de la época.

La fracción más antigua de la serie, denominada Catálogo Monumental de España,

1936, momento en que las actividades de promoción del turismo quedan
interrumpidas por la Guerra Civil. Este catálogo se compone de 3.861
fotografías de diferentes lugares y tema vario, pero siempre relacionado
con la actividad turística.......

Comenzó
formándose y trabajando con su padre, Pere Catalá-Pic. Estudió Dibujo
en la Escola Llotja, introduciéndose en los grupos más vanguardistas de
la Barcelona del momento. En 1937 comenzó su colaboración con el
Comisariado de Propaganda de la Generalitat de Catalunya. Su amistad con
los artistas más modernos, como Joan Miró, Eduardo Chillida o Marcel
Duchamp, le permitió desarrollar todo su potencial visual. Abrió su propio estudio en 1947.
De su padre aprendió la técnica y las fórmulas estéticas a partir de las cuales desarrollaría su propio trabajo, abandonando los experimentos compositivos y ahondando en la imagen desnuda que habla por sí misma. Su estilo se relaciona visualmente con las fórmulas de Rodchenko, y su planteamiento teórico, con las ideas de Cartier-Bresson. Su obra está llena de guiños simbólicos, composiciones sorprendentes o arriesgados puntos de vista en los que la luz crea volúmenes y aporta significados.
Busca la reflexión del espectador y la lectura profunda de la imagen a partir de tomas de excelente técnica e interés por la narración. Destila un especial interés por el ser humano, por los detalles, por el instante decisivo y por el realismo desnudo.
Català-Roca privilegió el formato cuadrado, y sus imágenes no han perdido modernidad. Supone un eslabón entre las fórmulas anteriores a la Guerra Civil española y los planteamientos documentales de los años 40

La clasificación de las imágenes por
fotógrafos consolida la hegemonía de Francesc Català-Roca, Pando y
Kindel como los fotógrafos por excelencia de la arquitectura
española........
Francesc Català-Roca y Joaquín del
Palacio —Kindel— merecen casoaparte. Sus fotografías se han convertido
en verdaderos símbolos iconográficos de la arquitectura española de los
cincuenta. El éxito de los proyectos retratados les deben verdaderamente
gran parte de su fortuna. Es prácticamente imposible demostrar que el
éxito de un proyecto se debe a sus fotografías, pero del estudio
y catalogación de las fotografías publicadas y de sus fotógrafos se pueden extraer algunas evidencias: los proyectos publicados con mayor número de fotografías son, precisamente, aquellas obras retratadas por los principales fotógrafos —el poblado de Caño Roto por Kindel, la residencia Miraflores por Pando—; los fotógrafos con mayor presencia gráfica en la publicación son los que han estado vinculados de manera más directa con los mejores fotógrafos:
Coderch con Català-Roca, Fisac y Fernández del Amo con Kindel.

Francesc Català-Roca es un hito
indiscutible de la fotografía española, y su participación activa como
difusor de la arquitectura moderna es perfectamente equiparable a la
labor de Julius Shulman
en Estados Unidos2.
La aventura abstracta que Luis Fernández del Amo emprendió en sus poblados de colonización, como Vegaviana o San Isidro de Albatera, encontró un respaldo insustituible en la plástica de Kindel.

encuentran Joan Miró, Eduardo Chillida o Josep Guinovart.

Català-Roca, Obras maestras
17.09.2013 > 12.01.2014 • SALA PicassoEl reportaje fotográfico logró con su trabajo una sintaxis nueva, una estructura firme y decidida, alejada sin titubeos de cualquier tentativa experimental y de cualquier ambición artística. Viajero incansable, recorrió España y retrató los vertiginosos cambios que se producían en los campos y las ciudades:
“Las imágenes de Català-Roca dignificaron todo lo que tocaron. No hay atisbo de condescendencia ni juicio cuando dirige su mirada a la gente humilde del campo o la ciudad. Sabe respetar la distancia exacta para narrar desde la posición de testigo”
Del 14 de Febrero al 1 de Junio se puede visitar en la Sala Kubo-Kutxa de Donostia la exposición 'Català-Roca. Obras Maestras', oorganizada por La Fábrica con la colaboración del Colegio de Arquitectos de Catalunya.
La exposición, comisariada por Chema Conesa, muestra 150 obras de Francisco Catalán-Roca, seleccionadas entre más de 200.000 negativos y 17.000 hojas de contactos. Así, se muestran fotografías de sus viajes por España entre los años 1953 y 1964, que dibujan un retrato plural y cotidiano de la vida de aquella época.

El pasado 3 de junio quedó inaugurada la nueva exposición del Museo ICO. En esta ocasión, y una vez más dentro del Festival PHotoEspaña,
nos volvemos a acercar a la arquitectura desde la perspectiva de la
fotografía. El acto de inauguración estuvo presidido por el Presidente
de la Fundación ICO, Román Escolano; la directora de la Fundación ICO,
Mónica de Linos; la directora de PHotoEspaña, Claude Bussac; y el
comisario de la exposición, Iñaki Bergera.
La muestra, que trata de revelar cómo la fotografía plasmó y
contribuyó a difundir la imagen de la arquitectura española del
Movimiento Moderno, presenta más de 250 imágenes relacionadas con la
arquitectura moderna realizadas por cerca de 40 fotógrafos durante más
de cuarenta años. Català-Roca, Pando, Kindel, Paco Gómez, Schommer,
Muller, Férriz, Luis Lladó o Margaret Michaelis, entre otros, son
algunos de los fotógrafos cuyas obras se recogen en esta exposición.
Las “Guías de España” de Ediciones
Destino contaron con un importante complemento gráfico, que constituye
un excelente corpus de imágenes de la época debida a excelentes
fotógrafos e ilustradores. Muchas de las fotos lo fueron de archivo,
sobre todo las del Archivo Mas, pero otras fueron de encargo, siendo de
destacar la labor de Ramón Dimas, fotógrafo deportivo de la revista,
prematuramente desaparecido en 1965 y la de Francesc Català Roca
(1922-1998), hijo del fotógrafo Pere Català Pic, que recibió varios
premios a lo largo de su vida y realizó numerosas exposiciones. También
fueron importantes las colaboraciones
de Ramón Camprubí, para la Guía de Asturias y la del fotógrafo serbio Josip Ciganovic, nacido en Dalmacia en 1922 y afincado en Roma desde 1948, que en los años sesenta hizo varios reportajes fotográficos sobre distintas regiones españolas, por encargo del
ministro Fraga, además del que le encargó Destino para su última guía, la de Aragón.
