“Robert Capa, Gerda Taro or Tina Modotti are the most known foreign photo-journalists related to the antifascist work during Spanish Civil War, but they were not the only ones. Hungarian Kati Horna was taking photographs for the spanish Republican goverment and for some anarchist magazines but due to the defeating situation she left to Mexico with all her negatives hidden. It was not until 50 years later that she was confident enough to offer her work to the spanish authorities. In 1983 her collection was finally to be part of the Spanish National Archives. Another thing is that there were several spanish photo-journalists covering the subject that were silenced afterwards, their work forgotten and deteriorating somewhere. But let’s talk about that some other day.”
