Bruce Davidson’s exhibition is on view at the Mapfre Foundation, in Madrid. Of 190 prints, a third is already part of the history of photography! It is amazing that this foundation, in Madrid and Barcelona, accumulates shows of such great quality. In Madrid, after Bruce Davidson, there will be Lewis Baltz and Renger Patch, in Barcelona Duane Michals! The cultural director of the foundation is also surprising. His name: Pablo Jiménez Burillo. Unlike his colleagues in vogue today, he goes against the current of all that happens. He proclaims loudly not to look for a second at art photography, fine art or conceptual flirting with contemporary art! For him and particularly in Spain, the history, the culture and the recognition of traditional photography must prevail.
