Good condition. David Rubinger's copyright stickers (in English) on verso of all three photographs. David Rubinger (1924-2017), among Israel's foremost journalistic photographers, laureate of the Israel Prize in Communications. In the course of his lengthy journalistic career, spanning over seven decades, he worked for both Israeli and international media organizations, including HaOlam Hazeh, Yedioth Ahronoth, and the American magazines Time and Life. Produced approximately half a million photographs, documenting historical developments in the history of the State of Israel in its formative years. Alongside his regular photojournalistic work, documenting current events, Rubinger was known for his photo portraits; by building close personal relationships with his photographic subjects and cultivating their trust, he succeeded in capturing the types of intimate and revealing moments that few journalists are lucky enough to be exposed to. He made his name with the iconic set of photographs shot on the day Jerusalem's Western Wall was captured by Israeli paratroopers, during the Six-Day War. Years later, Rubinger would relate the following recollection regarding the photo of the paratroopers at the Western Wall: "On more than one occasion, I've been asked whether I consider the picture of the three paratroopers at the Wall to be my greatest photographic accomplishment. My response is unequivocal: No. What made the picture so important were the circumstances in which it was taken, and that's what turned it into a symbolic image that so many people can so readily identify with. As is often the case with art, human beings tend to find in symbols whatever it is they're searching for. Time and again, I overhear people discussing the picture of 'the paratroopers weeping at the Wall.' To be honest, none of the subjects in the photo is crying, but if that's the way people choose to relate to it, who am I to deny them the privilege?" (excerpted from Rafi Mann, "'Where is that guy with the red beard?': In memory of the Photographer David Rubinger, chronicler of Israeli History, " the "Ha-Ayin HaShvi'it" website, Hebrew).

  • Collection of Over a Hundred Slides, Photographs by David Rubinger from the 1973 War, Battle Photographs and More. 1980s

    Collection of Over a Hundred Slides, Photographs by David Rubinger from the 1973 War, Battle Photographs and More. 1980s

    Photographs from Sidon, from the battles in Beirut, of Bashir Gemayel and of his funeral, the press conference after the bombing of the reactor in Iraq, and more. There are also some slides from the Sinai front during the Yom Kippur War included (difficult to view photographs). David Rubinger (1924-2017) was an Israeli photojournalist, winner of the Israel Prize for media in 1997. Rubinger took about half a million pictures over the course of his lifetime, and Alex Libek wrote about him that he became the "State Photographer." In a certain sense, he was David Ben-Gurion's "house photographer." Teddy Kollek, former mayor of Jerusalem said about Rubinger: "It's hard to express in words the feeling that you get from David Rubinger's pictures, if there's a feeling that does not loosen its grip on you with words, it is the insufficiency of words. To tell the story of Israel as these photographers do would take entire volumes, and they would still miss the target." This collection is being sold without copyright. Overall excellent condition.
