Exploring the World Through Kary H. Lasch's Lens: From Picasso to Cannes
Kary H. Lasch (1914 – 1993), a photographer, based his international model scouting network in Stockholm. He is known for his photographs of famous people like Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalí, Federico Fellini, Sofia Loren, and Brigitte Bardot. Kary Lasch visited and documented the Cannes Film Festival consecutively for thirty years. He also did covers for major international magazines like EPOCA of Italy, Popular Photography, and many others. Kary H. Lasch was mainly known as a model photographer. He was famous for delivering models and starlets to the world’s publications, fashion, and film industries. Few are aware of his profession’s wide range and scope: fashion, racing cars, bullfighting, art, travel, and industrial photography, to mention just a few. He appeared in ads for Hasselblad as a master photographer and had his pictures on the cover of large magazines worldwide. Lennart Nilsson, Sune Jonsson, and Kary Lasch performed workshops together and traveled around the country for many years in Sweden. “C’est un artiste! Un maître!” Pablo Picasso replied after he had seen Lasch’s images of bullfighting. Booxencounters AB is the custodian of the Kary H. Lasch Archive.
