Yakov Khalip (Russian, 1908-1980) Algerian Horsemen at Airport, 1960s Gelatin silver print, printed later 9-3/4 x 15-3/4 inches (24.8 x 40.0 cm) (image/sheet) Credited in pencil by the photographer's widow, verso. PROVENANCE: Howard Schickler Fine Art, New York, acquired March 1995. In the 1920s, inspired by the work of Rodchenko, Shaikhet, Fridlyand and Alpert, Yakov Khalip started to take his own photographs. His 1926 photograph "Moscow Embankment at Night" was published in Ogonyok and he participated in the important exhibition 10 Years of Soviet Photography held in Moscow two years later. From 1929-1931, Khalip worked as a camera assistant and photographer in various film studios. After 1931, he devoted himself entirely to photography with his award-winning images reproduced in such prominent publications such as Kino i Zhizn (Cinema and Life), Soviet Photo, Krasnaya Niva, Pravda and USSR in Construction. His war photographs made a significant contribution to the legacy of Soviet press photography. Throughout WWII until 1946, Khalip was a front-line correspondent for the newspaper Krasnaya Zvezda and also worked for the Soviet Information office. After the war, Khalip freelanced for the magazines Ogonyok and Smena, and from 1954, after Stalin's death, he resumed work for the magazine Sovetsky Soyuz, formerly USSR in Construction.
