Exhibition: 'Self-Portrait. Irony, Aesthetic and Passion' – César Malet

This retrospective exhibition showcases the work of César Malet, a little-known yet profoundly intelligent photographer from Barcelona (1940-2015). Renowned for his ironic style and cosmopolitan vision, Malet excelled in fashion photography during the 1960s, challenging the mainstream aesthetic of the time. His work continuously explored visual forms inspired by nature and the human body while maintaining a critical lens on society. The exhibition features over one hundred photographs preserved at the Barcelona Photographic Archive, offering a condensed glimpse into a rich artistic legacy that awaits the exploration of scholars and curious audiences alike.
