Israeli Beatniks, Night Club
Paul Schutzer
1960
In this photograph of Israeli beatniks in a night club, Paul Schutzer captured a different side of Israeli life from that usually portrayed in the Israeli and international media. His partying Israelis are far from the stereotyped images of tough kibbutzniks and soldiers that were usually published. Over the course of his tragically short career, Schutzer took many such informal and intimate photographs.
