Insight - Micha Bar-Am's Israel

insight

Micha Bar-Am's black-and-white photographs of everyday life in Israel depict a vertiginous gamut of scenes, from hijack hostages reunited with their families and tanks cruising war-torn streets to serene vistas of the Sea of Galilee or morning fog in Hula Valley. Essays by several distinguished contributors contextualize Bar-Am's images.


Micha Bar-Am (Hebrew: מיכה בר-עם) (born 1930 Berlin, Germany) is a renowned Israeli journalistic photographer. His most prominent pictures are from when he covered the Six Day War. His pictures are not so much of direct combat, but more of wartime life. He is a Magnum-photographer since 1968 and cites Robert Capa as his main influence. In 1949 he co-founded the kibbutz Malkia in Galilee, and later he became a member of Kibbutz Gesher HaZiv.
