Barbara Morgan is a notable figure in the historical avant-gardes in the United States, and yet her artistic legacy has had hardly any visibility in Europe.
The exhibition based on the Astudillo Collection surveys her photographs of dance, as well as her experimental work in photomontage and light drawings.
Her work related to contemporary dance in the 30s and 40s, especially with the figure of Martha Graham, established a radical turning point in the history of American photography by exploding its foundations with the onslaught of expression, feeling, the human experience via the body, its movement and its life force. This would exert a huge influence on the generations to come.
