Vale only this to say of photos Centelles Agustí, in 1936, shortly before or shortly after the start of the military revolt, caught in children's games all the tragedy of war. not firing toy guns, not throwing water bombs, not crying for the office! Only when the madness sinks Spain, perfectly expressed by an anti-heroic act assolutamnete (still a English firing squad in the art).
Centelles Barcelona has photographed her, and people, beaches and the settlements, workers' demonstrations, face and battles. And the results of that innovation in the technique of war that the bombing of the city, experienced for the first time on English cities by the Germans and Italians (who has had much success since World War II to the present day).
homes, schools, streets, urban spaces, away from the lines, had so far is reasonably safe places, they became graves.
After the victory of the military fled to France, where he was interned in the camps of shame that greeted the defeated Republicans, then in Mexico. Riuscedo leave safely, cleverly hidden, its stock that Franco wanted to destroy, living in exile until the return, the dictator is still alive in his Barcelona.
And starting to work in advertising campaigns with very 'pop', as of Chupa Chups, the lollipops English who conquered the world, recently in Italian hands (here in a reportage style, but there is a bouquet of lollipops wonderful and colorful).
