06:20 Terré's photo of the cross-eyed girl
During the 40s but especially the 50s, a group of photographers throughout Spain set out to revitalize and refound a photography that, like so many other things in Spain, had been completely backward and frozen by the civil war. Under AFAL (Almeria Photographic Group) and its publications, a group of masters of photographic art promoted a renewal movement. And among them was Ricard Terré, a Catalan social photographer from Sant Boi de Llobregat who proposed to exhibit in Barcelona a collection that contained a controversial photograph that generated much internal debate and finally saw the light, it was called "Terre’s cross-eyed girl". The consequences of his display were impossible to calculate, but miraculously, those consequences were positive; a delicious story that I tell you in this episode.
