Eulalia Grau, Etnografias presents a comprehensive overview of the collages created by Spanish feminist artist Eulàlia Grau (b. 1946, Terrassa, Catalonia) in the early 1970s. The book accompanies the eponymous 2024 exhibition at the Georges-Philippe & Nathalie Vallois Gallery in Paris.
Known professionally as Eulàlia, Grau is a pioneer of feminist art in Spain and Europe, recognised for her bold denunciation of social and gender stereotypes, particularly under the Franco dictatorship in Catalonia. Her 'ethnographic' press photomontages – later transferred onto emulsion canvases and silkscreen prints – serve as a powerful critique of capitalist lifestyles and all forms of oppression, offering a visual dissection of societal structures.
