Tina Modotti

Tina Modotti was an active participant in some of the most important historical events of the first half of the 20^th century, including the massive European economic migration to North America at the turn of the century.

She emerged as a pioneering woman photographer during the 1920s and her influence on later Mexican photography extended from her near-contemporary Manuel Álvarez Bravo to Graciela Iturbide.
