13 NOV 2023 · Even though from 1927 Moshe Vorobeichic resided mainly in the Weimar Republic, France and Palestine, he visited Poland regularly. The substantial amount of time spent here he devoted to taking photographs. He was interested in the Polish countryside, its folklore and residents—Poles and Jews, and the relations between them. Vorobeichic repeatedly photographed marketplaces in towns and cities such as Kazimierz on the Vistula, Kraków, Warsaw, Lublin. The scenes and portraits he captured with his 135mm format Leica constitute the best examples of 1930s documentary and social photography.

13 NOV 2023 · Hakhshara, Hebrew for ‘preparation’, is a common name for the places where European Jewish youth prepared to emigrate to Palestine. The development of hakhsharot is connected to the intensity of Jewish colonisation of Palestine in the interwar period and to the growth of the Eretz Israel emigratory and kibbutz movement. In 1937 Vorobeichic was commissioned by He-halutz [Hebrew for ‘settler’, ‘pioneer’], the largest Zionist youth organisation, to produce a photographic documentation of the hakhsharot. He visited almost twenty of them and took over 500 pictures, thus creating the largest and the only professional material documenting their operations.

13 NOV 2023 · Vorobeichic arrived in Palestine for the first time in 1932, as a photographer of the Paris-based Photoglobe agency. He visited Jerusalem and Safed, and presented Palestine as the biblical land.
In Palestine, the artist worked as a photographer and graphic artist for the Histadrut trade union, the main organiser of Jewish economic—and at times political—life. On its commission, he took hundreds of reportage photographs showing the construction of Tel Aviv and the port, as well as documenting the life of settlers in kibbutzim. He designed posters, information expositions and illustrated publications using his own photo-montages created in the style of the European avant-garde. In all his activities, he drew from the skills he had acquired in Dessau and in Paris, thus imparting a truly modern character to his artworks.
