Abstract

The Exhibition of the Nude in Barcelona in the autumn of 1933 triggered a campaign against it by diverse catholic associations headed by the publicist Ramon Rucabado with the support of the columnist Manuel Brunet in the newspaper La Veu de Catalunya. This article analyses both the political context, without which the controversy cannot be understood, the theories used and the widespread effect they had.
