Moshé Raviv-Vorobeichic, known as Moi Ver, born Moses Vorobeichic (1904–1995) was an Israeli photographer and painter.
Life and work
Moi Ver (Moshe Raviv) was born in 1904 in Zaskavičy, Belarus as Moses Vorobeichic. He initially studied painting. In his early twenties he matriculated at the Bauhaus, taking courses with Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, and Josef Albers, and left from there to attend the Ecole Photo One in Paris.
In his book Moi Ver: Paris, he produced avant-garde photomontages. Originally published in 1931 by Editions Jeanne Walter with an introduction by futurist Fernand Léger.
In 1932 Raviv was sent by the weekly La Vie Parisienne to Mandatory Palestine as photo-reporter. Raviv illustrated many books. Raviv was a founder of the Artists' Colony in Safed.
He adopted Zionism in 1934 and immigrated to what was then known as Palestine. Moshe Raviv-Vorobeichic (as he called himself in Israel) focused more on painting than photography and lived in Safed until his death in 1995.
