Born in 1904 in Lebedevo, near Vilna, Moses Vorobeichic, known as Moï Ver, studied painting at the Stefan Batory University in Vilna before enrolling at the Bauhaus in Dessau, where he attended courses by Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky and Josef Albers. In 1928, he moved to Paris to study photography at the École Technique de Photographie et de Cinématographie. His experimental approach to photography and photomontage culminated in Paris, a book published in 1931. In 1934, he moved to Palestine, where he continued working as a photographer before devoting himself primarily to painting in later years.
