Publisher's Comments (cont.)
As part of a celebration in Italy of the 60th anniversary of the state of Israel, an exhibition of contemporary Israeli art was held at the Complesso del Vittoriano (Vittoriano Museum Complex) in Rome, sponsored by the Tel Aviv Museum in Italy. This publication presents the art, along with biographical information and contextual and interpretive text. Seven provocative and thoughtful essays discuss such topics as art in Israel today and the history of Jewish thought about image-making, the Sabra in the Israeli mentality, the transfiguration of Israeli manhood, and the evolving image of the Israeli soldier. All text is in both English and Italian. This is an unusual book that should reach the hands of art historians, museum personnel, and scholars and others with curiosity or professional interest in Israel's culture and context. The format is horizontal: 12x9.75". Distributed in the US by International Publishers Marketing (IPM). Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
