Micha Bar-Am is a photojournalist who documented the Israeli army throughout the 1950s and 1960s and helped found New York’s International Center of Photography in 1974. The Berlin-born photographer immigrated to Palestine in 1936, serving in the army in his late teens. Bar-Am’s photographic career began in 1957, when he was hired as a staff photographer at Bama Hana, an Israeli army magazine. During his time with the magazine, Bar-Am met photojournalist Cornell Capa, who introduced him to Magnum Photos, a photography collective of which Bar-Am became an active member. In 1968, Bar-Am became a correspondent for the New York Times, documenting the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. Subsequently, he worked as a curator for the Tel Aviv Art Museum from 1977 to 1992.
