Mariana Yampolsky emigrated to Mexico City from Chicago in 1944 at the age of 22. For five decades, until her death in 2002, she was one of the moving forces in contemporary Mexican fine art. A prolific painter and graphic artist (posters, lithographs, countless illustrations, film, publisher and author of children's books), she was also an activist, curator, and popularizer, believing that the arts were essential to public culture and welfare. But it was her work with a camera that engaged her most. From her first (of countless) one-person show in 1960 to her numerous collections in books and on-going exhibitions, she was, and is still, recognized for her striking pictures of the people and architecture of Mexico.
