Description
Para producir esta obra, America Sanchez ha fotografiado y ordenado 1.825 piezas de grafica urbana barcelonesa: rotulos comerciales, numeros de portales, vinetas, alegorias, emblemas, pictogramas, que se hacen legibles e ilustran los usos de la ciudad. Ha sacado asi del anonimato la obra de un elenco multitudinario de grafistas espontaneos: rotulistas, pintores, grabadores, tallistas, herreros, vitralistas.. Con ello, America Sanchez ha inaugurado un nuevo campo de estudio sobre la cotidianidad, cuya tematica abre Norberto Chaves con sus reflexiones introductorias a la obra. Una mirada superficial no encontrara aqui mas que una coleccion de curiosidades del ingenio popular; la mirada atenta descubrira, en cambio, un tesoro grafico. Con este trabajo, America Sanchez hace una aportacion cultural tanto o mas importante que su valiosa obra como disenador grafico. A partir de esta obra, Barcelona puede mirarse en el espejo de su grafica anonima y, de este modo, recuperar otro aspecto de su riquisimo patrimonio.
