An award winning design by David Tartakover, 'Children are the rhythm of the world'. A thought provoking image of all the companies which use child workers whilst implying the connection to children and the gun industry. Can Micky Mouse and McDonalds really be classed alongside guns and heavy machinery.
'Bring the Settlers Home' is another of Tartakover's famous pieces. It addresses the issue that most Israelis are opposed to Jewish Settlements in the Occupied Territories. The Mobile home, painted in the Israeli National colours is being directed towards Palestinian Land as shown by the arrows in black, red & green, the Palestinian national colours.
Most of Tatakover's Work is conveying a political message in his country. He lives by the moto "Freedom of opinion is not a right but a duty". He is one of Israel's most prominent graphics desginers.
His most famous work has to be the 'Peace Now' Logo, which was the first political bumper sticker in Israel. "The movement activists liked the logo," Tartakover, 62, recalled this week. "But they thought there should also be a symbol. I told them it wasn't needed - this is the symbol. It took time until they understood that this was the first political sticker in Israel." It remains the most famous and recognizable political message of the country today.
