Group of [3] Photographs of [Female] Pioneers, Walter Zadek

[ translate ]

3 photographs of [female] pioneers by photographer Walter Zadek: women fighters and settlers.
* Woman on duty pushing a cart with plates to the dining room. 18.5x24 cm, Walter Zadek's ink stamp.
* Female guard armed with a rifle, riding a horse, and carrying her baby. 13x18 cm, signed on the back in pencil.
* Two [female] pioneers lifting a crate of oranges onto a cart, 18x13 cm, signed on the back in pencil.
Overall fine condition.
Walter Zadek [1900-1992] was born in Berlin and immigrated to the Land of Israel in 1933. He began working as an independent press photographer using a Leica camera, without any formal training in photography. Due to an old riding accident in Germany, Zadek used his left hand for photography almost exclusively. Zadek's photographs are characterized by their clean composition, and toying with light and shadow. They are occasionally staged in the spirit of 'new photography' which was widespread among EretzYisraeli photographers in the 1930s.
