This poster was designed by Jean David, and it reads (in French): Visit Tel Aviv - On the occasion of its fiftieth anniversary, which was celebrated on March 10, 1959.
This poster was made by Jean David, born in Romania in 1908. David was a painter and designer, known for his contributions to the Romanian avant-garde and to the early modernist art of Israel. Between 1927 and 1937 he studied at various art academies in Paris.
In 1929 he participated for the first time at a collective exhibition in Bucharest and in 1933 he had his first personal exhibition. In 1942 he left Romania in a boat with 12 other Jews, and after being captured by British authorities in Cyprus, he managed to reach Israel in 1944.
Together with Marcel Janco, he founded in Israel the artist village known as Ein Hod. He also gained much reputation as a muralist and especially designer, having designed numerous posters and other works for the El Al air company.
Tel Aviv was founded in 1909 by a small group of Jews who were looking for a healthier environment outside the crowded city of Jaffa, who with the help of the Jewish National Fund, purchased 12 acres of sand dunes. They called their new city Tel Aviv (literally, spring hill) after the Hebrew name given by Nahum Sokolow, the translator of Theodor Herzl’s classic book, Altneuland, to the Hebrew edition. Meir Dizengoff was the first mayor of Tel Aviv and served for 25 years. In 1917, the Ottoman rulers expelled most of the Jewish community from Tel Aviv. With the end of World War I and the start of British rule, the Jews were invited back to Tel Aviv. Tel Aviv is sometimes called the “White City,” a reference to the 4,000 or so white buildings built in in the Bauhaus style in the 1930s by German Jewish architects who immigrated to Israel after the rise of the Nazis. On May 14, 1948, the State of Israel was declared in the art museum that was located in Dizengoff’s former house. By 1950, the city of Tel Aviv had grown and expanded and was joined to the neighboring city of Jaffa. Tel Aviv, the home of the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, is the financial capital of Israel and the center of high-tech and start-up companies. It is also the center of Israeli culture and entertainment and is known for its nightlife and many high-quality restaurants.
