Dr. Uri Dorchin

“The Art of Zionism: Ideology, Art, and the Building of the Nation”

[vc_empty_space height=”20px”]

The revolutionary idea of founding a modern Jewish state in the Land of Israel sparked the imagination of artists who, since the late 19th century, expressed the Zionist ideology in various modes and formats. However, artistic works cannot be viewed simply as byproducts of the political doctrine. By translating abstract ideas into visual and audible representations, poets, painters, sculptors and songwriters gave the Zionist ideology an emotional power. Much more than flowery “decoration”, arts fueled the national enterprise that is Zionism and endowed it with its deepest meanings.
