Luis Ramón Marín (18841944), a pioneer of Spanish photojournalism, is one of the most important photographers of his country. His work covers a wide range, including pictures of the royal family, scenes of daily life in Madrid and countless portraits of intellectuals, artists, and sporting personalities. But Maríns photos also tell of dark chapters in Spanish history showing refugees, the military, destroyed cities and war scenarios. After the end of the Spanish Civil War his pictures were no longer published in Spanish newspapers, lapsed into public oblivion and were thought for a long time to have disappeared without trace. It was only after the death of Maríns widow that the photographers family restored the works hidden in her flat to the general public and so saved them from the threat of destruction. Since then, the archive containing more than 18,000 works of Luis Ramón Marín has been in the keeping of the Pablo Iglesias Foundation. Around 60 of these pictures will now be shown in Germany for the first time.
