Antonio Gálvez
photographer
Antonio Gálvez was a Spanish photographer and artist known for his distinctive style in portraiture and photo-montage. Based in Barcelona and later Paris, he developed a long-standing collaboration with filmmaker Luis Buñuel, creating several significant visual works about his career. Gálvez is particularly recognized for his portraits of cultural and literary figures, including a series of photographs of Julio Cortázar taken between 1967 and 1972. His work often explores the uncanny and the beauty found in unexpected visual juxtapositions, bridging the worlds of photography, cinema, and fine art.[1,2]
