Leonora Carrington explained: “I didn’t have time to be anyone’s muse; I was too busy rebelling against my parents and learning to be an artist.” In "Cartel publicitario", Kati Horna captures Carrington’s determination and bravery as a female artist while including one of her favorite techniques: photomontage.
