Biography

José Agustín Catalá Delgado (11 February 1915, Guanare - 18 December 2011) was a Venezuelan journalist and author. He was best known for his work on the 1948-58 dictatorship of Marcos Pérez Jiménez, during which he spent three years in prison. He had previously been imprisoned for four months in 1934, for publication of a poem, under Juan Vicente Gomez. Under Pérez Jiménez, Catalá's company Editorial Ávila Gráfica printed the clandestine Democratic Action's materials, such as newspapers and manifestos. Catalá was arrested following the publication in 1952 of Venezuela bajo el signo del terror, 1948-1952.
He received Chile's Order of Bernardo O'Higgins in 1996 for his work on Augusto Pinochet's dictatorship.
A biography, José Agustín Catalá, una manera de ser hombre: libro homenaje a sus 70 años was published in 1985 by Ramón José Velásquez.
