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, Shmuel Katz depicts a scene where children celebrate by hanging an Israeli flag and other national symbols such as the Menorah to decorate their homes and share the excitement. He also included a dove, a symbol of peace.
Shmuel Katz (August 18, 1926 – March 26, 2010) was an Israeli artist, illustrator, and cartoonist. A Holocaust survivor and postwar immigrant to Mandate Palestine via the detention camps on Cyprus, he figured prominently in Israeli illustration and newspaper cartooning, widely exhibiting and publishing his drawings and paintings, for which he won numerous local and international awards. His sketches and watercolors are known for their sprightly lines and touches of humor.
During the years 1950–1953 Shmuel Katz illustrated Mishmar Layeladim, the weekly children's supplement to the Mapam party's newspaper, Al HaMishmar.
