Eva Sulzer

Eva Sulzer (born 1902 Winterthur, Switzerland – died 1990 in Mexico City) was a photographer, musician, collector, and filmmaker who is most renowned for her photographs of pre-Columbian sights through Central and North America, including Canada, Alaska, and Mexico. She also had a substantial collection of pre-Columbian artifacts and indigenous art pieces. She worked closely with the artist Wolfgang Paalen and other surrealist emigres in Mexico during the early 1940s. Artists who participated in the DYN circle with Wolfgang Paalen enriched their work collaboratively by expressing their personality as an artist. Eva Sulzer became a part of the DYN Circle in Mexico, where they were influenced by scientific discoveries and Mexico's pre-Columbian movement to practice expressionism.

Photographs Many of her photographs were published in the DYN surrealist journal written and published by Wolfgang Paalen. Sulzer was the primary financial backer and photograph contributor for DYN.

Wolfgang Paalen and Eva Sulzer Paalen and Sulzer met at a Baltic resort in 1931. Sulzer then decided to return to Paris with Paalen, and they remained close for the remainder of Paalen's life.
