EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic figure of Marius Torres i Perena, a renowned Catalan poet who lived from 1910 to 1942. The photograph was taken on November 6,1941, and skillfully reproduced in photolithography by Tomas Tomas de Barcelona i Pi. In this image, Marius Torres exudes an air of introspection and depth as he gazes into the distance. His piercing eyes seem to hold a world of emotions within them, reflecting his profound interiority and poetic soul. As one of Catalonia's most celebrated poets during the tumultuous times of the Spanish Civil War, Torres' lyrical verses often delved into metaphysical themes with musicality. The setting appears to be a library or perhaps even a hospital room where Torres may have found solace amidst illness or imprisonment. Symbolist elements are subtly present in this portrait, hinting at his literary tradition rooted in rhymed forms and poetry plastic. Preserved within the Biblioteca de la Abadía de Montserrat, this rare photograph offers us a glimpse into the life of an extraordinary yet tragically short-lived talent. Though much about him remains unknown to us today, his contributions to Catalan literature continue to resonate with readers across generations.
