Ramón Masats' Humanist Portraits Under Franco's Spain
In the late 1950s, the Franco regime enlisted a group of photographers to promote tourism in Spain. Among them, young Ramón Masats subtly broke free from propaganda constraints to offer a gentle critique of the dictatorship. His work, partly unpublished, is now the subject of a book published by La Fábrica.
