Forgotten trades through bromeliad. The work of Josep Garcia Argilaga (1890-1984) curated by the historian Blanca Cubells.

Bromoli is a very old photographic procedure and was used by pictorialist photographers, especially during the first half of the 20th century (...) The bromoli technique was gradually abandoned from the decade of the fifties, although some photographers continued practicing it as are Robert Demachy (1859-1936), Miguel Goicochea de Jorge
(1894-1983) and Josep Garcia Argilaga among others.
