His style evolved towards simplicity of form, but he remained deeply attached to realism.
After WWII started and the Germans occupied Paris, he took refuge first in Lyon then left for Switzerland.
In 1945, Kars, in deep melancholy caused by the tragedy of the war, committed suicide.
In 1966, the contents of his atelier were auctioned at the Palais Galleria.
