New installation of photographs in the Plaza de Josep Cortinas

Next Sunday, November 29th, at noon, on occasion of the 25th anniversary of the death of Josep Cortinas Suñol (1908-1995), the installation of eight large images, made by this photographer, will be inaugurated, in the square that bears his name, in the neighborhood of the Center of Badalona.

The eight images, which will replace those that were in this space since 2008, are just a small sample of Cortinas ’work, with which,  we want to pay tribute to him. It is also a way of claiming and making known the invaluable value of his photographs, an exceptional chronicle of everyday life in our city during the second half of the twentieth century.

His work, which he donated to the Museum in 1981, consists of about 83,000 images, and led to the creation of the Image Archive of the Museum of Badalona, which is much larger today.
