The Photographs of Cas Oorthuys

The Photographs of Cas Oorthuys
The Municipal exhibition hall of El Roser in Ciutadella will house from November 12 to December 4 the exhibition "A portrait in black and white. The photographs of Cas Oorthuys". The exhibition produced by the Fundación "la Caixa" and commissioned by Jaume Martorell and Noemi Vallespir, groups some 80 photographs taken in the Balearics during the spring of 1962 by the Dutch photographer Cas Oorthuys (1908-1975).

The photos in black and white that are presented in this exhibition come from the Netherlands Photo Archives Foundation (NFA) in Rotterdam and are a selection of the 3,000 photographs taken to illustrate a book about the Balearics for the editorial Contact. The majority of these photographs of people, scenes and customs of the Balearic society are unedited, as finally only 84 were used for the publication.

The entrance is free and the visiting times are from Monday to Saturday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
