Abstract


By relying on fieldwork as well as on library research, the author discusses a photographic event in the modern history of Spain that is little known by Spanish scholars: the expedition in June, 1950 of the great American photographer W. Eugene Smith and his two assistants to the village of Deleitosa, in the province of Cáceres. The author describes the methodology of Smith and his team, then analyzes the results of his work, the famous photographic documentary «A Spanish Village», published in LIFE magazine in 1951. He also assesses the social impact of this work in and out of Spain and compares the ethnographic photograph with that used in journalism.
