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 we see the vibrant and colorful leaves of a plant that symbolizes life and continuity, in the face of loss and catastrophe, as depicted in the gray, prickly stem. On the various leaves of the plant we see the diversity of Israeli society.
This is a poster Dan Resinger, born in Kanjiža, Serbia, into a family of painters and decorators active in Austria-Hungary and the Balkans. Most of his family members were murdered in the Holocaust, including his father. As a teenager, he became active in the Partisan Pioneer Brigade and, with his mother and stepfather, immigrated to Israel in 1949.
Reisinger initially lived in a transit camp and then worked as a house painter in order to earn money from almost any source. In 1950 at age 16, he was accepted as a student—its youngest up to the time—at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem, there to 1954.
