Otte Wallish: From Znojmo to Tel Aviv
The leading Israeli graphic artist Otte Wallish was born in Znojmo in 1906. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, opened his own printmaking studio in Prague in the early 1930s and regularly collaborated with the Jewish National Fund. He designed mainly advertising leaflets, film posters and graphic design for books. In 1934 he moved to Mandatory Palestine, where he continued his work. In 1948 he designed the graphic design of the Declaration of Independence of the State of Israel, as well as the first Israeli stamps and coins, and participated in the design of the emblem of the Israeli police. In addition to government commissions, he also worked on commercial projects, creating several thousand posters, some of which are among the icons of graphic design in Israel. Admission is voluntary.
