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.

An exhibition of a genius of avant-garde photography discovered after many years.
