When the state of Israel was born in May 1948, four other nations which had long been subjected to British rule achieved their freedom at the same time: India, Pakistan, Burma (Myanmar) and Ceylon (Sri Lanka.) However, the emergence of the state of Israel was unique. All other nations came into being after a foreign power had been compelled to withdraw or withdrew of its own accord: the native people, dwelling uninterruptedly on its own soil, simply passed from subjection to freedom. Such was not the case with the state of Israel. For over two thousand years the Jewish people was for the most part separated from the land of its ancestors and, for many centuries, dispersed among alien nations. In most of the countries of its dispersion Jews were hated, persecuted, oppressed, denied rights and even murdered. History provides no other instance of a people that survived under such conditions. The Jewish people overcame all persecutions and oppressions to return to their own land through Aliyah (literally migration). From all lands of dispersions, from east and west, from north and south-Jews converted a desolate, abandoned and largely unpopulated country into a flowering land of culture which serves as an example for all emerging nations. Salvador Dali has succeed through the power of his great artistry in embodying in a number of prints the great spirit of the Aliyah which converted a desolate land into the flowering and dynamic country of Israel.*To view the entire suite please log on to our website at www.penrickcollections.com.
