Liselotte Grschebina

Between the 1930s to 1950s Grschebina takes photographs for Palestine Railways, the large dairy company Tnuva, kibbutzim, and various private businesses.

[2] Grschebina arrived in Palestine in 1934, a trained professional profoundly influenced by the revolutionary movements of the Weimar Republic: New Objectivity in painting and New Vision in photography, as well as by a number of prominent professors, including Karl Hubbuch and de:Wilhelm Schnarrenberger.

She came with a full-fledged style and remained committed to Weimar artistic ideals and principles in her new home, where she continued to apply and develop them.

This exhibition[dubious – discuss] premieres a major selection from among the 1,800 photographs that were given to the Israel Museum and unveils her life and work to the public for the first time.

She did this through striking vantage points and strong diagonals, making masterful use of mirrors, reflections, and plays of light and shadow to create geometric shapes and to endow her photographs with atmosphere, appeal, and meaning.

[3][4] The photographs of Liselotte Grschebina were rediscovered in storage at her son's Tel Aviv apartment six years after her death.
