About the Item

Kati Horna Untitled, from the series 'Fear Dolls', c. 1939 Signed and stamped with artist's copyright ink stamp on reverse Silver gelatin print, printed later 6 1/2 x 9 3/4 inches Kati Horna (1912-2000) was born Katalin Deutsch, and lived in Budapest, Berlin and Paris before relocating to Barcelona to collaborate with antifascist networks during the Spanish Civil War. Her images of wartime Spain offer a distinct gendered perspective of the bitter conflict. Fleeing Nazi persecution, she emigrated to Mexico in 1939. In Mexico City, she was a central figure in a community of exiled Surrealist artists that included Leonora Carrington and Remedios Varo. Works on view in the exhibition, featuring bodies distorted by glass and obscured by masks, demonstrate a personal photographic language rooted in the theatrical and the uncanny.
