Mariana Yampolsky

One of the major figures in twentieth-century Mexican photography, Mariana Yampolsky is accepted as an integral part of Mexican life and art. She has worked since 1944 as an engraver, artist, editor, lecturer, and book designer; but it is primarily as a photographer that she is best known, letting nothing escape her eye—neither the forgotten nor the marginalized—writing in images the story of the country she loves so deeply.
