Eliezer Weishoff (Hebrew: אליעזר ויסהוף; born 1938) is an Israeli multidisciplinary fine artist and graphic artist who has designed many of the state's iconic images.
Eliezer Weishoff was born in Jerusalem to Polish Immigrant parents and lived in the neighborhood of Mahane Yehuda, which became a source of inspiration for his many paintings and sculptures. His studies at the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design began in 1954, when he was 16. At the end of his first year of studies, he earned a scholarship for the continuation of his study, and graduated with distinction in 1958. In 1968 he returned to the Bezalel school as a lecturer and instructor. He served in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), as illustrator and art editor of the newspaper "Bemahaneh Gadna". In 1967 he held his first one-man show in Tel Aviv. Since then, he has exhibited his works in one-man shows, both in Israel and around the world. Among these works are the 50-shekel note bearing the portrait of Nobel Prize winner S.Y. Agnon, the logo for the Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel, the Hebrew logo for Coca-Cola, silk screens of Jerusalem, stamp series depicting the flora and fauna of the country as well as its archaeology, monumental sculptures scattered all over the country, coins and medallions, paintings, posters, prints, illustrations, jewelry, ceramics, tapestry, textile designs, linen, displays for exhibitions, and more. Weishoff is the creator of many of Israel's iconic images. Weishoff's sculpture commemorating the victims of the September 11 attacks was installed at a site in Arazim valley at the entrance to Jerusalem. The "Bird" sculpture he designed for the Jewish National Fund can be seen at the entrance to forests and national parks. Weishoff created the kinetic sculpture for the Carnival Cruise Superliner "Sensation", in addition to twelve mural paintings for the decks of the ship. Several of his paintings were purchased by El Al Israel Airlines and the Ministry of Tourism. Weishoff has designed logos and artistic posters to mark historic events, postage stamps for Israel and other countries and also a series of stamps for the United Nations. He has designed coins for the Bank of Israel and the Israel Government Coins and Medals Corporation, and his medals have been displayed at international exhibitions in Switzerland and the United States. He designed the old 50 New Shekel banknote featuring Shmuel Yosef Agnon. Weishoff designed pavilions for the State of Israel at International Fairs and Paris – Le Bourget Airport and took part in the designing of Bialik House and Etzel Museum in Tel Aviv. He is the author of a number of books in Hebrew, among them "Stamps tell about Jerusalem" and "The Chameleon," and he has illustrated many children's books. He created a sculpture, Yitzhak Rabin, bronze Statue presented by Mrs. Leah Rabin and her daughter, Dalia, to President Bill Clinton. He also created the Seven Species Menorah, bronze and olive wood, gift from the Jewish National Fund in honor of the Knesset's 50th Anniversary.

- Photorealism Still Life Acrylic Painting Flower Photo Realist Orchid, Vivid BlueBy Clarence MeaselleLocated in Surfside, FLClose up of a flower. canvas measures 30 X24 inches. Clarence Skip Measelle has been featured in over 100 gallery and museum exhibitions, competitions, group shows, and solo shows throughout the US. He is best known for his work in photorealism and abstract illusionism. The name Photorealism (also known as Hyperrealism or Superrealism) was coined in reference to those artists whose work depended heavily on photographs, which they often projected onto canvas allowing images to be replicated with precision and accuracy. The exactness was often aided further by the use of an airbrush, which was originally designed to retouch photographs. The movement came about within the same period and context as Conceptual art, Pop art, and Minimalism and expressed a strong interest in realism in art, over that of idealism and abstraction. The first Photo realists were Chuck Close, Don Eddy, Richard Estes, Ralph Goings, Robert Bechtle, Audrey Flack, Denis Peterson, Lowel Nesbitt and Malcolm Morley. Each began practicing some form of Photorealism around the same time, often utilizing different modes of application and techniques, and citing different inspirations for their work. However, for the most part they all worked independent from one another. For example, Chuck Close came of age at the height of Pop art and Andy Warhol's Factory, and was based out of SoHo in lower Manhattan. And Audrey Flack, a graduate of Yale, began creating photo-based works in the early 1960s. Select Solo Exhibitions Armory Art Center, West Palm Beach, Fl.
