Kati Horna

Kati Horna - born Katalin Deutsch in Szilasbalhás, Veszprém, Kingdom of Hungary - was a Mexican photojournalist, surrealist photographer and teacher. She was born in Budapest and lived in France, Berlin, Spain, and later was naturalized Mexican. Most of her work was lost during the Spanish Civil War. She was also one of the most influential women artists/photographers of her time. Through her photographs she was able to change the way that people viewed war. One way that Horna was able to do this was through the utilization of a strategy called "gendered witnessing". Gendered witnessing consisted of putting a more "feminine" view on the notion that war was a predominantly masculine thing. Horna being a women was able to capture the emotions of women and children of war from a different perspective and angle. This in part made her the legendary war photographer that she later became.- from Wikipedia.
