Since the establishment of the State of Israel, the Israeli government has commissioned graphic artists to design posters for Yom Ha'atzmaut (Independence Day).
In this poster there is a crowd of people, all united by the flag of Israel. In the background is the land of Israel, specifically the coast, where the sea and sand meet, creating the combination of blue and white, as in the flag.
M. Aryeh was born in Iasi, Romania. At the age of 12, he started working as an apprentice painting scenery in the Bucharest theater and opera. M. Aryeh was a Holocaust survivor. In December 1946, he boarded the refugee ship Rafiach, which sank in a storm near the Greek island of Sirena, and its survivors were sent to the detention camps in Cyprus, where he stayed for more than a year until he immigrated to Israel.
M. Aryeh published a large number of children's and youth books in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s - from Bible stories to "Kofiko", "Chasamba" and "Dannidin".
