New Arrivals January 2024

Fraksh Gallery is delighted to showcase the newest additions to our collection. We are constantly on the lookout for exceptional pieces that stand out for their unique style, historical value, aesthetic appeal, and artistic merit.

Among our recent additions, one poster, in particular, stands out for its historical value and excellent design: the 1949 Israeli Air Force recruitment poster titled ‘Youth – Join the Pilot Course!’. This iconic piece marked the inception of the Israeli Air Force and its renowned pilot training course, considered among the most challenging in the IDF and undeniably the most celebrated.

Printed shortly after the Israeli Independence War (1949-1950), this poster remains in remarkable condition, with only two such posters known to survive —one archived in the Zionist collection and the other proudly presented here.

Another standout is a beautiful Jewish Legion recruitment poster for Jewish youth. Designed in 1940 by the esteemed graphic artist Franz Kraus, this poster was presented during ‘Youth Week’. The Jewish Legion, founded by Ze’ev Jabotinsky during World War I, consisted of five Jewish volunteer battalions within the British Army. Their mission was rooted in the belief that active Jewish participation in global affairs was essential to advancing the Zionist cause and ultimately establishing a Jewish state.

Whether you are a seasoned collector or an Israeli art lover, we invite you to explore and discover the beauty and value of these pieces. We’re always on hand to provide insights and information about each piece.
