Alice Rahon (1904–1987) was a French-Mexican poet and artist, known for her contributions to the Surrealist movement and later, to Mexican modern art. Born in Chenecey-Buillon, France, Rahon initially gained recognition as a poet in the Surrealist circles of Paris. She moved to Mexico in the late 1930s, where she transitioned to visual art, becoming an integral part of the vibrant artistic community that included figures like Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo.
Rahon's artistic oeuvre is characterized by its mystical themes, abstract forms, and the incorporation of natural elements like sand and stone into her paintings. Her work often explores the intersection of myth, landscape, and the subconscious, reflecting her lifelong interest in both poetry and visual art.
