Josep Esquirol

(Barcelona, 1873 – L’Escala, 1931)

“Professors of solitude: Josep Esquirol, photographer – Josep Pla, writer”

Fishing and fishermen, salting anchovies, setting forth with lateen sails, the first archaeological excavations in Empúries and life in L’Escala are frequent themes in the photographs by Josep Esquirol (Barcelona, 1873 – L’Escala, 1931) and which are also found in the texts of Josep Pla (Palafrugell, 1897 – Llofriu, 1981), who lived in l’Escala for two years.

The selection offers up a dialogue between the photographer and the writer, two narratives which complement, but also reinforce each other.
