N arinsky was a somewhat mysterious figure, whose story has only recently come to light. He was born in 1885 in a small town in Russia, where he later belonged to a group of young socialist Zionists. At the beginning of this century he emigrated to Palestine. Among his early friends in the 'workers' commune' in Jerusalem were Yizchak Ben Zvi (later the second President of Israel), David Ben Gurion and other leaders of the socialist movement in Palestine. Narinsky soon dropped out of active politics and devoted himself to photography and painting. In 1904 he spent a short time in Paris, where Cezanne became his idol. It may well be that he also became acquainted with the work of Demachy, Stieglitz and Evans during this visit; at any rate, their influence is visible in N arinsky' s portraits and city-scapes Saul Narinsky photogravures are each custom mounted with a tissue guard mounted in a buckram custom made heavy box. there are approximately 120 or more of them, all rare views of Palestine between 1910 and 1920.

No copies in OCLC. Shlomo Narinsky (1885-1960) an artist-photographer, an illustrator and a painter, came to Israel on the second Aliyah wave, and was among the social circle of David Ben-Gurion and Yitzhak Ben-Zvi. On the early 20th century, he photographed landscapes and people from the early days in Israel. His wife, Sonia Narinsky, was his Studio's partner and was a photographer herself. Born in the district of Korsakov in South Russia (today's Ukraine) Shlomo studied art and specialized in painting in Moscow. From 1904-1905 he lived in Paris and Berlin, where he studied painting and photography. A short time after returning to Russia he moved to Israel and settled in Jerusalem, where he established with Yaacov Houtimsky a photography studio by the name of "United Photography". Narinsky was in touch with artists of Bezalel, with people from the theatre and the literary world who were acquainted with Eliezer Ben-Yehuda. During the first years in Israel he photographed postcards of landscapes, sites and portraits. Most of the picture series were sold to a print and publishing house of the Gamal brothers in Jerusalem. In 1918 and throughout the 20's the publishing house continued to produce those pictures as postcards.

Photograph has a greenish hue. Shlomo Narinsky (1885-1960) was an Israeli photographer and painter who was born in the Russian Empire. In the interwar period in Paris he al…so adopted the name Neroni. Narinsky was born in the village of Abyan in southern Russia, now Ukraine. He studied painting in Moscow as a child, and photography in Paris (1904) and Berlin (1905). He briefly returned to Russia after finishing his studies, but immigrated to Ottoman Palestine in 1906, where he opened a photography studio in Jerusalem called "Photographic Unity" with Yaakov Hotimsky. His wife Sonia, also a photographer, was a partner in the studio. While he was there, he made a postcard collection of Palestine. Narinsky's photography was influenced by the works of 19th-century European photographers. When World War I came Narinsky was exiled to Egypt where he worked in photography in Alexandria and then in Cairo. He moved to Paris in 1932 and opened another photography studio. In World War II he was interned in the detention camps in Saint-Denis and Drancy and was released in 1944 as part of a prisoner exchange. The couple returned to Palestine and settled in Kibbutz Ein Harod. In the 1950s they moved to Haifa, where Shlomo Narinsky taught photography at the WIZO vocational school for girls until his death in 1960. Narinsky, Shlomo. Photographer (illustrator).
