He was fascinated with the landscape, architecture, and humanity of the places he visited, but his main intent was to document performers. His camera focused on singers, musicians, and dancers at peak moments of their performances, and while engaged in the activities their music accompanied. With a remarkable eye for character and composition, Lomax attempted to capture quintessential body attitudes, gestures, facial expressions, and social groupings, illuminating the stories told by his sound recordings. There are a total of about 5,000 photographs in these collections.
Alan Lomax en los 50 queda fascinado por la arquitectura, los pueblos y la gente de España. Recopiló cantes típicos, instantes, personas que daban la imagen de una España atrasada en plena dictadura.
Me parece muy interesante escuchar, ver y oír lo que este hombre, acompañado con la policía del régimen, pudo recopilar. Un trabajo excelente.
