José Ortiz Echagüe (Guadalajara, 1886 – Madrid, 1980). He was born in Guadalajara in 1886, and he studied engineering and military aviation. At the same time he developed his creativity in experimental photography. He was without question the most important representative of Spanish photo-pictorialism. He developed this technique and followed it devoutly until his last days as a photographer.

His photograph creations were known in Spain, Europe and The United States due to the publication of his collections in interesting volumes like España Mística (Mystical Spain), España: Tipos y Trajes (Spain: People and Costumes), España: Pueblos y Paisajes (Spain: Towns and Landscapes) or España: Castillos y Alcázares (Spain: Castles and Fortresses).

To those who knew him Deakin was either loved or loathed—there was no halfway house. Lucian Freud described Deakin as: Like Cinderella and the Ugly Sisters at the same time. While socialite and Woolworth heiress Barbara Hutton said he was: The second nastiest man I ever met. Who the first was, we can only imagine. No matter the divisive response Deakin’s personality engendered, there was one thing about John Deakin everyone agreed upon—he was a genius photographer whose work was uncompromising, almost brutal in its full-frontal honesty. As the art critic John Russell noted this fact after Deakin’s death in 1972: When John Deakin died, there was lost a photographer who often rivaled [Francis] Bacon in his ability to make a likeness in...
