Tina Modotti, who traveled throughout Mexico with photographer, Edward Weston, learned photography from him and started pursuing it seriously. Even after Weston left Mexico in 1926, she remained there and took pictures of the customs, art and buildings of Mexico. A lot of her works were published in art magazines and art critique magazines. In 1927, she joined the Communist Party of Mexico and was deeply involved in political activities. In 1930, she was arrested and expelled from Mexico, having been accused of conspiracy in the failed assassination plot of the Mexican president, Pascual Ortiz Rubio. Even after that, she was actively involved in revolutionary movements in Berlin, Moscow, Paris and Madrid, and gradually ceased her photography work.
