This interactive presentation highlights art created in the Holy Land from
the biblical world to the contemporary era. The works reflect the
experiences of the people who lived in that part of the world at a specific
time. The creation and development of the visual arts during the 20th
century is emphasized. Israeli art adopted the materials and styles of the
dominant culture until the early 20th century when Zionists seeking a
homeland attempted to create a "National Jewish Art Style." How did they do
that? What happened? Were they successful? Where are their undertakings
today? And what has happened in the interim?
What can we, living in the 21st century, learn from these people? How can we
benefit from their efforts?
This presentation is especially suitable for
Israel Independence Day and for all ages.
