From an exhibition catalogue in the Israel Jerusalem Museum : The Map of Israel as Illustration, Artwork, and Icon A pencil-case, a package of cookies, and the blue box of the Jewish National Fund are displayed here together, all three decorated with the map of Israel. Yet the map adorning these items and the rest of the pieces in this exhibition is not geographic or topographic; it is an artistic representation and a cultural emblem. It is the same image that, even with one\'s eyes closed, takes on its familiar shape - a loop on the upper-right hand corner at the Sea of Galilee, and, under it, a sort of tongue shape representing the Dead Sea; to the left, a small curve marking Haifa, followed by a larger one; and, at the bottom, Eilat, the final link that completes the narrow outline of the state. Naturally, the borders of the maps reflect the historical time in which they were drawn, but changing borders are not the focus of this exhibition. The items presented here reflect shifting tastes and passing trends with one objective throughout the years: to increase familiarity with the land and to strengthen love of the land in experiential, educational, and aesthetic ways. So, what is this artistic, non-geographic map? Is it a work of art, an illustration, or an icon? Perhaps it is all three, for all of the maps displayed here have a fine-art aspect, an illustrative aspect - adding personal artistic interpretation - and an iconic aspect. The wealth of images in this exhibition stretches the limits of Israel\'s map, allowing us to take a considered, personal, new look at this very familiar sight. Tell Me a Map: The Story Map The story map encourages investigation and is all about the joy of decoding. It tempts us because it is a lightweight, eye-catching marketing tool. Packed inside the lines that delineate the country are famous sites, personalities, animals, and events from former eras. These are all rendered in a realistic figurative way, which in turn determines things like shape, color, and composition. \"When You Enter the Land:\" Biblical Maps Since the time of the British Mandate, Bible study has served as a central tool in educating the Zionist sabra (native Israeli), a means of creating a mental construct of the way the homeland looks. Biblical motifs became associated with visual characteristics: generally, the characters were bearded and dressed in robes, and the graphic design called for a special font with an antiquated feel - whether the maps illustrated a board game or a notebook. As the objects on display show, many map manufacturers happily skipped over 2,000 years of exile and depicted the modern Hebrew settlement as a direct continuation of the biblical era. Know Your Country: Pre-geographic Maps These maps were made to be used as a preliminary step before studying a real map of the country. In order to read them, one often has to understand geographic principles. In artistic-typological terms, these maps can be divided into two main categories: maps so short on detail that one can only see the bare outline of the country\'s borders, and maps which place emphasis on familiarity with the land and are bursting with colors and shapes. Make Yourself an Icon and a Map - Symbolic Maps These maps are sketched broadly and are meant to provide a visual nod to the map of Israel without providing any geographic information. Instead, they aim to strengthen patriotism through the presence of national emblems. Some of the items on display here feature the map alongside other Zionist symbols, such as the Israeli Flag, the Declaration of Independence, and Theodor Herzl\'s portrait; these maps are usually packed with details, as in the decorative plate shown here. Other items are characterized by a certain graphic restraint. In this type, national symbols are interwoven into the design of the map with such subtlety and frugality that one identifies the map only at second glance, such as in the book Speak Hebrew. Today the symbolic map is much less popular than it once was. Taking its place are colorful story maps, which are free of any nationalist content. The Map between Icon, Artwork, and Illustration In On the Map (1981), Danny Kerman playfully manipulates illustrations of the map of Israel. The natural shoreline and the official border become shapes in their own right while the map is doubled, extended, and made smaller. Kerman expresses a wide selection of humorous political and social ideas through his graphic variations. With endless plays on form and line, he asks how far one can stretch the confines of the map while retaining its essence - and at what point it becomes another entity altogether.
