Catalogue for the 2000 exhibition El Ojo Fino / The Exquisite Eye, which featured the works of nine great women photographers of Mexico. They are artists from three generations who have literally joined hands and hearts to reach across the 20th century and confront with us the essential stuff of life: Lola Álvarez Bravo, Kati Horna, Mariana Yampolsky, Graciela Iturbide, Flor Garduño, Yolanda Andrade, Alicia Ahumada, Ángeles Torrejón, and Maya Goded. They are, or have been, friends and acquaintances—although Lola has now passed away and Kati lives a secluded life. With one exception, they all live in or near Mexico City. Their images have extensive aesthetic connections—little homages here and there, borrowed elements, overlapping spiritual territory, similar styles.
