Leonora
A striking gelatin silver print by Hungarian-Mexican photographer Kati Horna, this intimate portrait captures the surrealist artist and writer Leonora Carrington with a dreamlike, otherworldly quality. Horna's masterful use of light and shadow lends the image a poetic depth, reflecting the close friendship and shared surrealist sensibilities between photographer and subject. The photograph stands as a testament to the vibrant creative community of exiled artists who found refuge in Mexico during the mid-twentieth century.
