Walter Zadek - Portrait of Helmar Lerski
Walter Zadek (1900-1992), portrait of photographer Helmar Lerski (1871-1956).
An impressive cooperation between two artists-photographers, among the prominent photographers in Eretz Israel prior to 1948. A focused and precise portrait of Lerski's head, photographed by Zadek in the expressive style characteristic of portraits photographed by Lerski himself with a strong contrast and unique light and shade composition. Hand-signed on the reverse by the photographer, in pencil. 18x13 cm. Good condition. Several stains on the reverse.
