The exhibition The Seventies. Photography co-produced by Centro Andaluz de Arte Contemporáneo, Museo D’Arte Provincia di Nuoro and La Fábrica/PHotoEspaña in collaboration with Fundación Banco Santander, seeks to provide a retrospective look at a group of works and artists that contributed to making the nineteen seventies one of the most important and fruitful periods in the recent history of photography. This group show, which includes over 200 photographs, covers some twenty outstanding figures in the visual arts field of that time, and offers a wide, diverse range of images that exemplify the period as well as a selection of its conceptual and aesthetic attitudes. The aesthetic approaches of avant-gardes concerned with purely formal questions gave way to a more open, less dogmatic artistic attitude in which some attention had to be paid to life experience and social issues. The decade produced a greater interrelationship between art and life that led to an interest in defending the everyday, the poetics of the personal and the landscape of the intimate in addition to unconventional documentary approaches. Art ceased to be considered something external to the artist and began to be part of the creator’s attitude toward life. Photography was seen as an ideal tool for this artistic and historical context, and the photographic medium was reformulated.
