Overview
Apasionada e impetuosa, la personalidad de Tina fue única. Nacida en Italia a finales del siglo XIX, y tras un breve paso por Hollywood, donde trabajó como actriz, llegó a México en plena efervescencia cultural de los años veinte.
Fue compañera en las reflexiones artísticas y políticas de los intelectuales y creadores de la época —Edward Weston, Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros o Frida Kahlo, sólo por citar algunos— y acá encontraría el coraje y la inspiración necesarios para descubrir en la fotografía el medio idóneo con el que mostrar su indignación y compromiso por las injusticias sociales.
Pero más fuertes que su carácter e incluso su obra fueron sus fervientes ideales anti-fascistas, que mantuvo firmes hasta su trágica muerte, cuya causa real sigue siendo un misterio.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Genuine artist, indomitable spirit, fervorous activist... Everything in Tina Modotti’s life contributed to her becoming a legend.
Passionate and impetuous, Tina had a unique personality. Born in Italy at the end of the nineteenth century, and after a brief time in Hollywood where she worked as an actress, Tina arrived in Mexico right in the midst of the vibrant culture of the nineteen twenties.
She joined in the artistic and political reflections of creators and intellectuals of the time: Edward Weston, Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros, and Frida Kahlo, to name a few. Here she would find the courage and the necessary inspiration to explore an ideal format to express her commitment and indignation in the face of social injustice—photography.
But even stronger than her character and her work were her fervent anti-fascist ideals, which she firmly upheld until her tragic death, the cause of which remains a mystery.
