The Bezalel Haggadah
Maty Grünberg, London: 1984
Filled with bold graphics and vibrantly colored illustrations, the Bezalel Haggadah's imagery is inspired by symbols of Jerusalem. Several illustrations are modeled on early illustrated haggadot as well as Egyptian artifacts. The calligraphy is based on a design by Elihu Koren, one of Israel's foremost typographers. It consists of 75 original woodcuts; 49 in color and 26 in black and white. Each print was pulled by the artist on handmade paper using a 19th-century press and signed by the artist in Hebrew and English.
The creator of the Bezalel Haggadah, Maty Grünberg, was born in Yugoslavia in 1943. His family immigrated to Israel in 1948 and Grünberg received his education at the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem. Grünberg is highly acclaimed and his work has been widely exhibited.
