Moï Ver (* December 5, 1904 in Lebedewo , Belarus ; † January 18, 1995 in Safed , Israel ) later Moshe Raviv , (real name Moses Vorobeichic in the German-speaking area M. Vorobeichich ) was a photographer and painter.
Life
Moses Vorobeichic first studied painting in Vilnius , moved to the Bauhaus in Dessau in 1927 , where he a. a. studied with Paul Klee and Wassily Kandinsky . It was there that he dealt with photography for the first time. Later he went to the Ecole de photo et du cinéma in Paris . His first major project was a study of Vilnius, which he showed in the form of photo collages in an exhibition at the Zionist Congress in Zurich in 1929 and with the support of Emil Schaeffer , the editor of the Schaubuch series, and a foreword by Zalman Shneur in 1931 as a book published. The book was published in six bilingual versions (Hebrew-Yiddish; Hebrew-English; Hebrew-German; Yiddish-German; English-German) with a total print run of 12,500 copies. Vorobeytshik showed the life of the Orthodox Jews in his hometown at the time of Passover 1929 in a modern form .
He became famous as Moï Ver with the illustrated book about Paris (also 1931). Paris was published in an edition of 1000 and is today considered a central work of photography. A new edition of the work took place in 2004 (again 1000 copies).
His draft for Ci-contre was also created in 1931 . The draft was not published because of the Nazi takeover and remained unpublished until Moï Vers's 100th birthday. In 2004 the book was published as well as an exhibition of the pictures in Ci-contre by the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich.
In 1934 Vorobeichic emigrated to Palestine . At first he continued to work as a photographer, doing documentation and advertising. Later he turned to religious painting.
Vorobeichic is one of the founders of the artists' colony Safed , where he has worked as Moshe Raviv (not to be confused with the Israeli ambassador to Great Britain) since 1950. He died there in 1995.
