\u00c0ngel Prat i Pujol (Cal Vidal, Puig-Reig, 1906 – Vilardaga de la Gu\u00e0rdia, Sag\u00e0s, 2002), was born in an industrial colony in the Llobregat where his parents owned the inn and the butcher’s shop. He started practicing photography out of sheer curiosity and also thanks to the arrival of cinema in Puig-Reig. He was then fourteen years old and as a result of that event began to cast Chinese shadows on his home with transparent paper.<\/p>\n

This hobby grew when the family moved to another colony in the Bergued\u00e0 region. There he established contact with Belgian loom assemblers accustomed to the new technological and photographic trends of the time, which provided him with magazines and photography manuals that he studied. From them he retained the technique, the practice of capturing and developing photographs and adapted his own technique in a completely self-taught way.<\/p>\n

After his marriage to the pubilla of a large manor house in the municipality of Sag\u00e0s (also in Bergued\u00e0), the doors were opened for him to develop his photographic side more habitually.<\/p>\n

As an amateur and self-taught photographer, Prat has won numerous national and international awards. His work is a first-rate experiential and documentary legacy about the landscape of Bergued\u00e0, agricultural work in farmhouses, textile colonies, social and journalistic chronicles, without forgetting the images of his travels or the author\u2019s photographs.<\/p>\n

His work was researched between 2014 and 2015 on the occasion of the exhibition and publication of the book \u00c0ngel Prat, la mirada saga\u00e7. Photographs from 1940 to 1980<\/em>, curated by S\u00f2nia Granel, a tribute to the figure of the photographer. The exhibition was promoted by the company Logos Bergued\u00e0, with the help of Virg\u00ednia Parramon, which aimed to promote the culture of the region.<\/p>\n

After an exhaustive work of reviewing the photographic collection of Prat, it was possible to know and appreciate the gaze of a man passionate about photography, landscapes, the region and his time.<\/p>\n
