As historical analyses of Diaspora Jewish visual culture blossom in
quantity and sophistication, this book analyzes 19th-20th-century
developments in Jewish Palestine and later the State of Israel. In
the course of these approximately one hundred years, Zionist
Israelis developed a visual corpus and artistic lexicon of
Jewish-Israeli icons as an anchor for the emerging "civil
religion." Bridging internal tensions and even paradoxes, artists
dynamically adopted, responded to, and adapted significant Diaspora
influences for Jewish-Israeli purposes, as well as Jewish religious
themes for secular goals, all in the name of creating a new state
with its own paradoxes, simultaneously styled on the Enlightenment
nation-state and Jewish peoplehood.
