| In the history of this century, photography has become more than just a technology. Even before it was considered a fine art, in the pages of history it had reached a privileged position in daily life documenting famous people. "The Image of Power. Portraits of Spanish Political Leaders from 1898 to 1998" seeks to demonstrate the parallel evolution of an artistic genre (the portrait), of a artistic language (photography) and the image of a country through the faces of its political representatives, its social leaders, and the public figures who have personified power in Spain this century. |
