BIOGRAPHY


Ricard Terré was born in Sant Boi de Llobregat, Barcelona, on 5 July 1928. In 1959 he moved to Vigo, where he died on 29 October 2009. He studied at the Escuela de Altos Estudios Mercantiles de la Ciudad Condal (Barcelona). He began his artistic career as a painter and cartoonist, and did not practice photography until 1955, when he came into contact with members of the Agrupación Fotográfica de Cataluña. Together with Ramon Masats and Xavier Miserachs, he organised his first photographic exhibition in 1957. In 1958 he joined the Afal group (Agrupación Fotográfica de Almería), becoming a member of its board of directors and participating in all its activities. At the end of the 1960s, he gave up photography and resumed it in 1982, taking part in several national and international individual and group exhibitions. He is considered one of the most outstanding photographers of his generation.

His photography, of great thematic and formal coherence, has a subjective character that makes it identifiable even taking into account the diversity of the series he has produced. In 2008, his work was awarded the Bartolomé Ros Prize for the best photographic career by the PhotoEspaña photography festival.
