I wouldn't describe her as 'lost'. She's been very well known since the 20s/30s and an associate, often lover, of some of the greatest artists of the 20th century. She was traumatized by her experiences during the war and her son didn't find out about her life as a photographer until after her death when he was sorting out her stuff, but that was at the end of the 1970s. He published a book about her in the 1980s, which is when I first became aware of her and she has certainly been well-known since over here.
I went to the exhibition earlier this month with some friends, some of whom indeed had not heard of her before, but most of whom had. It's a superb exhibition, well worth the £10- entry fee.
