About the Item

This 1963 original poster, designed by Kor, celebrates the Festival d’Israël – Musique et Drame, held from July 16 to August 12, 1963. The event brought together an impressive lineup of world-renowned artists, including conductors William Steinberg and Gary Bertini, composer Sir William Walton, actors Jean Vilar and Agnes Moorehead, and musicians such as Geza Anda, Eugene Istomin, Leonard Rose, Isaac Stern, Jennie Tourel, and Rosalyn Tureck. With a striking purple background, the poster features a bold, abstract illustration of a violin scroll, bursting with vibrant, expressive colors that evoke the energy and artistic diversity of the festival. The fluid, almost Cubist style of the artwork reflects Kor’s dynamic approach to graphic design, seamlessly blending musicality and visual expression. The Festival d’Israël was a major cultural event, featuring performances by the Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra, Kol Israel and Ramat Gan Orchestras, New York Pro Musica, and Israeli choral ensembles, alongside 2,000 dancers and musicians. This fusion of classical music, drama, and dance made the festival a landmark moment in Israel’s artistic landscape, celebrating global collaboration and artistic excellence. For collectors and lovers of mid-century graphic design, this poster is an exceptional piece, encapsulating the spirit of 1960s avant-garde aesthetics and cultural vibrancy.
