López, Nacho

From a young age, he became familiar with various photographic darkroom techniques. During the 1940s, he studied at the Institute of Cinematographic Arts and Sciences and worked as a cameraman and director of documentaries and newsreels. He excelled as a photojournalist and photo-essayist, and his extensive body of work includes series dedicated to cinema, architecture, contemporary dance, and jazz. He particularly ventured into architectural photography, showcasing his mastery in handling black transparencies. In the 1960s, he, along with painters, founded the plastic movement called the Interiorists, which, in opposition to abstractionism, sought an art linked to humanity in its individual and social capacities.
