Barcelona 1957

This book starts with a conversation between two of the persons that best know Barcelona: the famous Spanish writer Eduardo Mendoza and Leopoldo Pomés, one of the most mythical photographer of Barcelona. With a versatile personality embracing cinema, advertising or restaurant management, Leopoldo Pomés (Barcelona, 1931) became known as a photographer in 1955 when he presented in the Galeries Laietanes of Barcelona (where the most important avant-garde exhibitions of the time were held) a display of photographs which broke with what had been seen until then and attracted the enthusiasm of some and uttered outrage exclamations from others.
