The Director General of Archives and Libraries, Francisco Jimenez, the coordinator of Culture of the City of Cartagena, Isidro Perez, and and the son of French photographer Jean Dieuzaide, Michel Dieuzaide, presented this morning in the exhibition "Perspectives, photos of the Region of Murcia in 1951 'by Jean Dieuzaide (1921-2003), which will be open at the Palace Molina (Jara Street) until January 9, 2009 and which works Photographic Historical Center of the Region of Murcia (Cehiform) .
This exhibit features Dieuzaide production in relation to the region, including images of Cartagena, and reveals the painstaking analysis of the specific conditions of human beings in their particular environment.
Thus, it is not just a reporter documenting the historical moment, but the eternal moment.
Jimenez has highlighted the immense historical and political value of photographs, offering a portrait of a society that only fifty years ago seemed to live in the Middle Ages and in just over a half century has evolved and progressed by leaps and bounds.
Gradually Cartagena as capital is consolidated picture of the region, said the director general of the Archives.
The protagonists of the exhibition, said Jimenez, are the joy, suffering, playfulness, the looks, the feelings of the people he photographed and that they could capture and stop the inside story.
His son explained that these photographs were taken by his father taking advantage of the free time you left a job assignment on Romanesque art in Spain.
The result was fifty black and white images that offer a sociological portrait of the region in the fifties: their homes, streets, monuments ...
but above all, its people, as Dieuzaide is considered one of the great humanist photographers of the twentieth century.
The images were taken from the archives and have never been exhibited in Spain, Galicia and Aragon although there have been similar exposures to these regions.
The recovery work began five years ago, at the hands of the former director of Cehiform, Juan Manuel Díaz Burgos, and has continued to the present, Fernando Vázquez, to materialize in this exhibition.
