              Gutman's Mosaic – The Story of Tel-Aviv



              Nachum Gutman  is one of the  most famous painters  in Israel. In his


              paintings,  we  can  see  the  life  in  the  new  Tel-Aviv.  Thanks  to  his

              popularity  and  the  popularity  of  his  paintings,  he  was  requested  to


              document the history of the city through his paintings.




              Gutman decided to document the history of the city in a different and

              original way, compared to his usual works of art – he decided to present

              the history of the city via mosaic with four parts. The mosaic is a very


              big piece, in a size of a wall.




              Four scenes that tell the story of the city are described in the mosaic.

              Each  scene  tells  a  different  story  and  is  characterized  in  a  different


              color.  The  first  part  tells  the  story  of  the  old  city  of  Jaffa,  which

              preceded Tel-Aviv. This part is characterized in green, and the old port

              of Jaffa, as well as the images of the Arab residents are described in it –


              all on the background of very green vegetation. At that period, the Jews


              dwelled in old Jaffa.



              The second part tells the story of the construction. In this part, we can


              see a lot of yellow. We see the beginning of the construction of "Ahuzat

              Bait", the yellow sands and the few houses. We can see the water tower
