Discover the remarkable women who escaped Nazi persecution and helped to transform photography in Britain. During the 1930s, over 70,000 refugees came to Britain from Nazi-dominate d Europe. Amongst those escaping anti-Semitic persecution were a surprising number of women photographers. Working across portraiture, fashion and reportage, these women brought modernist perspectives that opened up British photography in the decades that followed. Another Eye brought together work by 17 of these women: Inge Ader, Dorothy Bohm, Anneli Bunyard, Elisabeth Chat, Gerti Deutsch, Laelia Goehr, Lisel Haas, Heidi Heimann, Elsbeth Juda, Hella Katz, Erika Koch, Betti Mautner, Lotte Meitner-Graf, Lucia Moholy, Gerty Simon, Edith Tudor-Hart and Lore Lisbeth Waller. Some have become established photographers, others remain relatively unknown. This was the first UK exhibition to explore their collective influence upon visual culture in Britain. Show more
