The centre of Kolár's creativity and his main motif was and still remains his home town, Ostrava. The son of a photographer and film maker, it was here that Kolár began taking pictures in the fifties. After spending five years abroad, he returned to the Moravian industrial town on the Oder: between 1968 and 1973, in reaction to the invasion of the Warsaw Pact, he had lived and worked in Canada and the United States, as a miner, a photo laboratory assistant and a photographer.
