The renovation of the Spanish photography from the aesthetic guideline of the realism. A formal and significant precedent in Eugene’s Smith photographic article on Deleitosa (Cáceres)

Abstract

At the moment of speaking about the renovation in the Spanish photography in the middle of the 20th century, it is necessary to bear in mind a concrete guideline, of aesthetic sign, which is going to be a determinant for his attainment and which stems from the application of realistic positions to the field of the art. Certainly, it is a question of a widespread phenomenon extended to manifestations as unlike as the literature or the cinema. Inside the photographic plot, the photographic article is constituted in the principal way to take it to effect. Opposite to the pictorialism, this photography is raised in emaciated chronicle, not avoiding a critical function, of the current situation, since it exemplifies perfectly the work of the North American Eugene Smith about Deleitosa.
