EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a pivotal moment in the history of Spain - the Spanish Civil War. Taken on the 19th of July 1936 in Barcelona by renowned photographer Agusti Centelles, it depicts the intense fights that erupted in the city during this tumultuous time.
The image shows a group of men, likely members of the guerrilla forces, standing behind a makeshift barricade as they prepare to defend their beliefs and fight for their cause. The tension and determination in their faces are palpable, reflecting the gravity of the situation they find themselves in.
The black and white composition adds to the sense of urgency and chaos that characterized this period of warfare. The harsh sunlight casting shadows across the scene serves as a stark reminder of the harsh realities faced by those involved in these conflicts.
As we reflect on this historical moment captured through Agusti Centelles' lens, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by countless individuals during this turbulent chapter in Spanish history. This print stands as a testament to their courage and resilience, serving as a poignant reminder of the human cost of war.
