About The Artist:
Unlike any other photographer, Boris Carmi (1914-2002) succeeded in capturing the essence of Israeli society from its very beginning in images that never fail to surprise. He was one of the founding fathers of photojournalism in a new-born country, focusing on scenes of everyday life, and portraits of the country's cultural elite. In the midst of conflicts, however, it was the ordinary people who interested Carmi most.
