Xavier Agramont started out in the world of photography in the fifties and has always shown a keen interest in everyday aspects of society. In 1962, he opened a photographic studio and spent his free time photographing people, squares, beaches and other public spaces in Barcelona, the Empordà and Italy. The artist’s prolific work, focused on the most popular and human aspects, is an indispensable testimony to the process of change that occurred in the second half of the twentieth century. The artwork by this virtually unknown photographer was exhibited for the first time during an exhibition at Can Mario in 2008.
