NOAM BARNON — Mon, 26 Jun 2023 12:39:41 +0000

The Hapoel convention was a national and international sports event that was held once every four years under the auspices of the President of the State of Israel. The public council of the convention was headed by the general secretary of the General Workers’ Union. The first convention was held in 1928, and the 15th and last convention was held in 1995.

In the beginning, there was a national gathering of all members of Hapoel, athletes in a variety of fields, who held meetings and competitions that lasted several days. As the number of “Hapoel” members increased, so did the nature of the event. At the center of the convention – international and national events.

Anti-Semitic Vintage Poster Le Complot Juif (The Jewish Plot against Europe)

farkash — Tue, 29 Sep 2020 14:21:40 +0000

This is an extremely rare and hateful anti-Semitic poster printed in Belgium during WWII shortly after Hitler broke with Stalin and invaded the Soviet Union. Now threatened on two sides, the Nazi propaganda machine was whipped into high gear, often targeting the Jews as scapegoats. The poster shows caricatures of Stalin and Churchill shaking hands across an ironclad Nazi Europe. Above, an ominous sky reveals a ghostlike Jewish stereotype looking down upon the scene, with the implication that the actors below are controlled by a Jewish plot to control Europe.

Oliver Twist, Charles Dickens “Fagin The Jew” Anti-Semitic Vintage Poster 1880s

farkash — Fri, 18 Sep 2020 08:42:55 +0000

Dickens Poster with Fagin the Jew 1880s Color woodblock poster.
Approx. 203 x 99 cm. (80×39″), linen-backed. Cruikshank, George, Hartford, CT, Calhoun Print. Co.
Date: [c.1880s]

A brilliant example of late 19th century woodblock technology. This poster was created from individual boxwood blocks produced separately for each color. The imposing size provides room for three separate vignettes from the novel Oliver Twist. The largest and central image being Fagin’s Last Night Alive (Fagin alone is in his cell), Oliver Introduced to the Old Gent, and Oliver’s Reception by Fagin and the Boys. Fagin appears in each drawing bearing the characteristically loathsome Jewish nose as seen through anti-Semitic vision. Oliver Twist was soon adapted for the theater where it proved to be an enduring favorite. This poster would have been used as an advertisement for such a production in America.

Oliver Twist, Charles Dickens’s second novel, was written in 1837 and tells the story of the orphan Oliver set against the seamy underside of the London criminal world. First published in monthly parts in Bentley’s Miscellany, it was originally illustrated by George Cruikshank from which these images are produced.

Dickens was severely criticized for introducing criminals and prostitutes as well as targeting the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834 which renewed the importance of the workhouse as a means for relief for the poor. The public apparently wanted more of the lighter fair that had been given to them in The Pickwick Papers. The anti-Semitism, ingrained into English society at the time Oliver Twist was written also emerged boldly in Dickens’s depiction of Fagin who was seen as a crook and a corrupter of young children. This vivid portrait endures as one of the most memorable of any of the author’s characters and maintains its fascination due to the complexity of the character. Fagin is a Jew and an immigrant and as such had to live under appalling conditions. Although he robs, steals, and trains young boys to be criminals he also possesses a moral sense. It is this which makes him so compelling.
The poster is very rare, and very seldom comes to the market.

Original Vintage Israeli Travel Poster Advertising Holidays in Israel A.Games

farkash — Mon, 10 Feb 2020 06:48:21 +0000

Original vintage travel poster advertising holidays in Israel, published by the Government Tourist Organisation, Jerusalem, Israel. Colourful mid-century modern image of a palm tree wearing the sun as a face, with sunshade umbrellas as eyes and a sailing boat as a smiling mouth and nose, designed by the notable British graphic designer, Abram Games (Abraham Gamse; 1914-1996). Printed by E Lewin-Epstein, Tel Aviv. Good condition, restored loss and tears, backed on linen.

Abram Avraham Games OBE, RDI (29 July 1914, Whitechapel, London – 27 August 1996, London) was a British graphic designer. The style of his work – refined but vigorous compared to the work of contemporaries – has earned him a place in the pantheon of the best of 20th-century graphic designers. In acknowledging his power as a propagandist, he claimed, “I wind the spring and the public, in looking at the poster, will have that spring released in its mind.” Because of the length of his career – over six decades – his work is essentially a record of the era’s social history. Some of Britain’s most iconic images include those by Games. An example is the “Join the ATS” poster of 1941, nicknamed the “blonde bombshell” recruitment poster. His work is recognised for its “striking colour, bold graphic ideas, and beautifully integrated typography”
