Muchas vicisitudes se les presentaron antes de su arribo a México, país que adoptaron como suyo desde su llegada en octubre de 1939. Para ambos, México resultó un regufio ideal, después de los horrores que observaron en la Europa de los años treinta. Desde entones hasta sus respectivas muertes, nunca abandonaron nuestro país. Durante su periodo creativo, estuvieron convencidos de ser artesanos del arte y, por este motivo, no consdieraban la idea de exponier sus piezas en museos y galerías.

Throughout their lives, Kati and Jose Horna were dedicated to reinterpret, through the lens and the objects, the different realities that they faced. Many vicissitudes were presented to them before their arrival in Mexico, which they adopted as theirs since their arrival in October 1939. For both of them, Mexico became an ideal venue, after the horrors they observed in Europe in the 1930s. From then until their respective deaths, they never left our country. During their creative period, they were convinced to be artisans of art and, for this reason, did not conserve the idea of ​​exposing their pieces in museums and galleries. A great work of diffusion of its work has been initiated by its unique daughter, heiress of great part of its production: Norah Horna. Some pieces included in this exhibition are part of the best known work of both artists, but, for the first time, we have the opportunity to enter a more intimate world, with personal creations that are a reflection of their everyday creativity, built as a kaleidoscope through the multiple feelings of things.--translation provided by translate.google.com
