About the artist
Kar was a significant figure in photography in Britain post-World War II, making notable contributions to the field. In 1960, she hosted one of the earliest solo photography exhibits, a comprehensive display of her work at the Whitechapel Gallery, London. Her portraits of significant artistic figures were a reflection of her experiences within bohemian circles in Paris and London. However, despite her pioneering work, she struggled to adapt to the increasingly commercial world of photography during the 1960s. She eventually died in relative obscurity in a small Bayswater bedsit in 1974.
