Helena Wilsonová (née Pospíšilová; 15 August 1937 – 14 August 2019) was a Czech photographer.
Pospíšilová was born in the village of Návarov. After her family estate was confiscated by the state in 1948 (see 1948 Czechoslovak coup d'état), they moved to Prague,[1] where she worked for the Academy of Sciences and also published her works in the Umění a řemesla magazine. In 1972, she married Canadian translator Paul Wilson. When Wilson was expelled from Czechoslovakia in 1977, they moved to Canada together.[2]
She continued working as a photographer for art magazines, galleries and catalogues.[3] One of her best-known works is a cycle of photographs taken in Cuba in 1995, later exhibited under the title The Faces of Havana.[4] In 2011, a major exhibition of her photographs took place in Prague's Libri Prohibiti.[5]
She died in Toronto a day before her 82nd birthday.
