Art in Israel: synthesis of cultures Since the foundation - in 1906 - of the Bezalel Academy of Art and Crafts in Jerusalem, Israeli art has sought its identity and is now one of the centers of international debate towards the world. Israel today is a laboratory of synthesis between worldwide cultures, continuosly looking for a west and middle-east balance, and between the local creative expressions and the immigration bias, the most important influence in Israel. Israel art however succeded during its lifetime to find its own essence, with originality. Israeli art often tells about sites, society, political and religious history of the country, proving that difficulties can often increase creativity. But Israeli art more often just represents the creative effort of the artists in front of the big art and human topics. Israel is a land of light, flavours, passions. Crucible of history, languages, religions, cultures, ways of living and thinking. Cradle of history, spring-board of the future. Catalyst of energies, a concentration of spirituality and pragmatism, of tradition and innovation. Guardian of the memory, propeller of ideas. Not just the Promised Land. Not only the Holy Land. Not just the land of milk and honey. Not just biblical landscapes. Neither it is just a land of war, struggles and conflicts. Israel is a real country. And so is its art.
