Lucette Hafner
1926Born in Bern,Lucette Hafner grew up in the 1930s and was inspired by the artistic atmosphere of the time. During the 1930s, many political ideologies such as Marxist socialism, capitalist democracy and the totalitarianism of communism and fascism were engaged in power struggles and represented the political atmosphere of the time. Leading artists took the ideas of Surrealism and incorporated them into their radical political philosophies, creating a new type of magic realism. This was reflected in the work of artists such as Frida Kahlo and Diego Riviera in Mexico.
