Kati Horna was a surrealist photographer who joined forces with two other phenomenal artists, Leonora Carrington and Remedios Varo, all exiled in Mexico in the 1930’s. Born in Budapest in 1912 to a Jewish family, she is recognized as one of the influential artists (photographer) of her time. She always considered herself a Hungarian-Mexican anarchist photographer. During the Spanish Civil War, in 1937, Kati moved to Barcelona, and while living there, the Republican government asked her to document life in the communities of Aragón, Valencia, Madrid, and Lleida, all on the front lines of the war, through photographs. Her images reflected the brutality and horror of the war and how it affected the civilian population. Horna arrived in Mexico in 1937 when she was only 27 years old and declared that Mexico would be her only homeland. She remained there until her death in 2000.

Friends, we need to get to know these great women of art, whether it be in photography, painting, or sculpture. Not everything was done by men. Help me to spread the word by sharing this article.

    1. It’s the same story with most female artists/photographers and this needs to change. There are many neglected artists that need to be in museums and many in museums that need to be taken out… Thank you!
