Happy birthday to Tina Modotti, though her personal life has often overshadowed her artistic career, she stands as one of the most important modern photographers to emerge during Mexico’s artistic renaissance. The sensitive yet charged images highlight the lives of every day Mexicans and the political difficulties of the time.

See her work in the upcoming exhibition “Paint the Revolution: Mexican Modernism, 1910-1950”

“Woman of Tehuantepec,” c. 1929, by Tina Modotti
