She matured in a family environment of photography enthusiasts that she transcended by orienting her photographic work towards the public sphere through competitions, exhibitions and publications. Established in Barcelona between 1934 and 1936, Mey Rahola became one of the first Spanish women to be recognized in the field of artistic photography. The Civil War brutally halted this stage of her career. In exile in Lyon, she had to work as a photographer to survive. At the end of the European War, she left her professional career, although she continued to take photographs as an amateur and to cover occasional commissions until her death in Vaucresson, near Paris, in 1959.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fotoconnexio.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/FTT_Mey_Rahola_1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15659\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fotoconnexio.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/FTT_Mey_Rahola_1-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"357\" height=\"201\" \/>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fotoconnexio.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/FTT_Mey_Rahola_2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15662\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fotoconnexio.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/FTT_Mey_Rahola_2-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"354\" height=\"198\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fotoconnexio.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/FTT_Mey_Rahola_4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15668\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fotoconnexio.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/FTT_Mey_Rahola_4-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"359\" height=\"202\" \/>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fotoconnexio.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/FTT_Mey_Rahola_3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15665\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fotoconnexio.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/FTT_Mey_Rahola_3-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"357\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The research has made it possible to recover an important part of her photographic background and discover a surprising look, the result of the unique trajectory of a woman who always wanted to be modern, independent and attentive to the aesthetic concerns of her time. They also addressed the issue of the sources of Mey Rahola&#8217;s visual imagination. Apart from the prestigious models of the photo salons and the noucentista iconography, the originality of Mey Rahola maintains a strong relationship with the images of the illustrated press, then in full expansion and which disseminated new models of behaviour for women. Illustrated publications are a school of the eye in which Mey Rahola establishes models for the modern idyll that transmits his vital and bright photography.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fotoconnexio.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/FTT_Mey_Rahola_5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15671\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fotoconnexio.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/FTT_Mey_Rahola_5-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"280\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>After the conference, as usual, a very lively round of questions was established, with a focus on technical aspects, and their relationship with other photographers and with the Photographic Association of Catalonia.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_10261\" style=\"width: 222px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fotoconnexio.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Butlleti-Fotoconnexio-02_2021_cat.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10261\" class=\"thumb-of-pdf wp-image-15653 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fotoconnexio.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Butlleti-Fotoconnexio-02_2021_cat-pdf-212x300.jpg\" alt=\"thumbnail of Butllet\u00ed Fotoconnexi\u00f3 02_2021_cat\" width=\"212\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-10261\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Extract from the Photo Talk (Catalan)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MEY RAHOLA, PHOTOGRAPHY AND MODERNITY By Roser Mart\u00ednez Garcia, and Llu\u00eds Bertran Xirau Monday, March 8, 2021 at 6:30 p.m. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 On Monday, March 8, coinciding with Women&#8217;s Day, Roser [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":15656,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_cbd_carousel_blocks":"[]","footnotes":""},"categories":[688,689],"tags":[692,980,974,975,976,979,696,977,978],"class_list":["post-16273","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fototertulia-en","category-historic-en","tag-concursos-fotografics-en","tag-illustrated-press","tag-lluis-bertran-xirau-en","tag-mey-rahola-en","tag-modernitat-en","tag-modernity","tag-photo-contests","tag-premsa-illustrada-en","tag-roser-matinez-garcia-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fotoconnexio.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16273","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fotoconnexio.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fotoconnexio.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fotoconnexio.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fotoconnexio.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16273"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.fotoconnexio.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16273\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fotoconnexio.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15656"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fotoconnexio.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16273"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fotoconnexio.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16273"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fotoconnexio.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16273"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
