Macrina Krauss García (Córdoba, Veracruz, 1914 - 2001) studied at the Escuela Nacional de Artes Plásticas (National School of Fine Arts) and took private watercolor lessons with Ignacio Beteta. She was the wife of José Torres Palomar, another artist whose work is unfortunately also forgotten and whose whereabouts are currently unknown. Krauss's work primarily consisted of still lifes, cupboards, village landscapes, and portraits.

She was a member of the Frente Nacional de Artes Plásticas (National Front of Fine Arts) and the Salón de la Plástica Mexicana (Salon of Mexican Fine Art). She participated in the First Frida Kahlo Salon in 1956, held at the Gallery of Contemporary Art of Lola Álvarez Bravo, and frequently exhibited at the Romano Gallery and the Misrachi Gallery.

Despite having participated in numerous group exhibitions and having several solo shows, her work has not been studied in depth, which contributes to the obscurity of her artistic legacy.
