National Gallery of Art (Vilnius) presents the photography exhibition of Moï Ver (1904-1995) the author of outstanding photography books  'The Ghetto Lane in Wilna', 'Paris: 80 Photographies de Moï Ver' (with an introduction by Introduction by Fernand Léger) both published in 1931, and project 'Ci-Contre - 110 Photos de Moï Ver'.  In 1927-1929 Moï Ver allias Moshe Raviv-Vorobeichic studied in Bauhaus School Dessau attending classes taught by László Moholy-Nagy, Josef Albers, Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, and Hinnerk Scheper.

The meeting with Mahol-Nagy the founder of photography and film studies at the Bauhaus School was crucial for Moshe Vorobeichic creative biography. The young student from Vilnius was strongly impressed by Moholy-Nagy's photography and film experiments, art and technology connection, and ideas of 'New Vision'. The film program presents  Maholy-Nagy's films from 1929-1936, which show a number of parallels with the motifs that dominated in Moï Ver's photography: dazzling life of metropolis, architecture, industrial and technical forms, among them a wonder of the 20th century engineering  the Pont Transbordeur in the old port of Marseille.
