Circa 1946 Tapestries
Description: “Youth for Settlement Strongholds. Keren Hayesod Jewish Youth Project.” Israel poster, circa 1946, published by Moriah Press, Jerusalem. Designed by Zvi Berger. Public domain, via PPPA. Zvi Berger (1935-1986) was born in Haifa. He graduated from the Bezalel Academy in Jerusalem and was a graphic artist for Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael - the Jewish National Fund (KKL JNF.) This silkscreened poster was a direct recruitment/appeal to Jewish youth to support the establishment and defense of settlement outposts, under the auspices of Keren Hayesod and youth movements. Using a variety of graphic design tools, I created a restored and enlarged reproduction of this historical Israeli poster, based on a rare photo of the original poster in an archive.
