"The painter paints, the writer writes, the sculpter sculptures but the poet is not singing, he is a mountain on the road side, or a tree, or scent or something evasive, or like times passes not to return, like the seasons…"Natan Zach, Various poems, 1960 (translated from Hebrew)

This exhibition brings the

impressions of old Eretz Israel, with a nostalgic mood as seen through

the eyes of Israeli artists. The landscapes and the people, the everyday life, at work, in the family, at ease,  their sorrow, their happiness. Through their brushstrokes they show us scenes of life from a time past and forever gone.
These first artists that came to Israel from various places, mainly from eastern and central Europe, bringing the culture of their country,  young halutzim, leaving behind families and untying connections, they believed in revival of the old Jewish homeland, their encounter with the local reality different from their dreams, landscapes, native people, the famous sun and light, brings to a new art, each in his own way, creating

something of a new a unique style.

The exhibition is presented as a tribute to Israeli art, shows a selection of paintings from early and later periods, the artists chosen some famous and some long forgotten between the art books pages, through the exhibition we get a second chance to enjoy their art work
