Kati Horna, Remedios Varo, and Leonora Carrington shared a strong bond with one another–Varo and Carrington as talented painters, Horna as an experimental and sought-after photographer, and all three as rebellious creators. After meeting in Mexico, Horna documented their lives as European ex-patriots and their blossoming artistic careers. In this particular portrait series of Varo, she is pictured painting and posed at her easel. Here, she takes a smoke break, relaxed as she stands before a close friend.
