He served in the Jewish Legion during the First World War, after which he decided to study at the Herzlia Gymnasium in Tel Aviv and at Bezalel in Jerusalem (1912). It was noted, however, that not only were his studies there brief, but he was amongst numerous other students who began to rebel against the old school manner of instruction. The result of his rebellious manner was the development of a unique style that combined his personal experience of building a new life in Israel, which contrasted with his adoption of the modernist trends coinciding with then European arts. It has been noted that such artists as Renoir, Picasso, Henri Rousseau, and Raoul Dufy often inspired his works. His sense of style was often portrayed in his exotic images of the Arab community and the Arab people, in which he depicted farm girls washing naked in the orange groves, depictions of shepards and shepherdesses, and a series done displaying Jaffa\'s brothels, capturing the instinctual and sensuous atmosphere of the Middle East. However, his later works were said to have taken on a lighter and more buoyant feel, then some of his earlier paintings. In 1926, he had the fortunate opportunity to participate in the famous Tower of David Exhibition. In addition, over time, he became known as prolific children\'s book author, and illustrator. His works were marked by pictorial narratives that portrayed their sentiments through the usage of an array of vibrant and poignantly chosen illustrations. His talent and hard work earned him the 1978 Israeli Prize for Children\'s Literature. His works earned him the title \"the artist of early Tel Aviv\" seeing as he had a knack for portraying the bohemian and realistic vision of the city and its people. His illustrative writings often drew inspiration from ancient Asian motifs, such as Assyrian reliefs and Egyptian wall paintings. Till this day some of his mosaic works are displayed in Bialik Square in Tel Aviv, which were installed in 1970, and tell the story of Tel Aviv, and Jaffa history and livelihood. In addition, after his death there was the creation of the Nachum Gutman Museum, which is located in what is considered Tel Aviv\'s first Jewish neighborhood, Neve Tzedek. ******** The son of an author, Nachum Gutman was born in Bessarabia and moved to Eretz Yisrael as a child. He grew up in Yaffo, opposite the sand dunes later to become Tel Aviv, and these locales dominate his landscapes. He was one of the first children to live in the new city of Tel Aviv, and this influential childhood experience is recounted in his books A Small City with Few People and Between Sands and Blue Skies . Gutman served in the Jewish Legion in World War I, and then went to Europe to continue his education in art that he had begun at Bezalel; he returned to Eretz Yisrael in 1926. Influenced by Henri Rousseau and Matisse, his paintings exhibit a sense of innocence and nostalgia for life in the early days of the Yishuv*. Gutman worked primarily in oils, gouaches, and water colors. His oil paintings are known for their large blocks of pure, unmixed color, and his water colors are clear, evoking a transparency akin to the innocence he wished to convey. Gutman is also famous for his illustration of Bialik poems and for mosaics he designed in Tel Aviv: in the Shalom Tower, the Chief Rabbinate Building, and the old City Plaza. Gutman began his work as a children\'s illustrator in the 1920\'s, and he continued to work in children\'s literature throughout his career. For thirty-two years he illustrated a children\'s weekly, and frequently included stories of his own. As an author he is simple and direct, displaying a cheerful, optimistic view of life. Gutman explained that he strove to excite in his young readers a curiosity about the world around them and to encourage them to use their imagination, particularly in order to see the hidden wonder in the commonplace. Gutman was one of the first authors to write for children in Hebrew, and for his contribution to children\'s literature, a field which he helped launch, he was awarded the Israel Prize in 1978.\"Snow White\" is a German fairy tale known across much of Europe, and is today one of the most famous fairy tales worldwide. The Brothers Grimm published it in 1812 in the first edition of their collection Grimms\' Fairy Tales. It was titled in German: Sneewittchen (in modern orthography Schneewittchen), and numbered as Tale 53. The Grimms completed their final revision of the story in 1854. The fairy tale features such elements as the magic mirror, the poisoned apple, the glass coffin, and the seven dwarfs, who were first given individual names in the Broadway play Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1912) and then given different names in Walt Disney\'s 1937 film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The Grimm story, which is commonly referred to as \"Snow White\", should not be confused with the story of \"Snow White and Rose Red\" (in German \"Schneeweißchen und Rosenrot\"), another fairy tale collected by the Brothers Grimm. In the Aarne-Thompson folklore classification, tales of this kind are grouped together as type 709, Snow White. Others of this kind include \"Bella Venezia\", \"Myrsina\", \"Nourie Hadig\" and \"Gold-Tree and Silver-Tree\". Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is a 1937 American animated film produced by Walt Disney and released by RKO Radio Pictures. Based on the German fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm, it is the first full-length cel animated feature film and the earliest in the Walt Disney Animated Classics series. The story was adapted by storyboard artists Dorothy Ann Blank, Richard Creedon, Merrill De Maris, Otto Englander, Earl Hurd, Dick Rickard,Ted Sears and Webb Smith. David Hand was the supervising director, while William Cottrell, Wilfred Jackson, Larry Morey, Perce Pearce, andBen Sharpsteen directed the film\'s individual sequences.Snow White premiered at the Carthay Circle Theatre on December 21, 1937, followed by a nationwide release on February 4, 1938, and with international earnings of $8 million during its initial release briefly assumed the record of highest grossing sound film at the time. The popularity of the film has led to it being re-released theatrically many times, until its home video release in the 1990s. Adjusted for inflation, it is one of the top ten performers at the North American box office.At the 11th Academy Awards, Walt Disney was awarded an honorary Oscar, and the film was nominated for Best Musical Score. It was added to the United States National Film Registry in 1989 and is ranked in the American Film Institute\'s list of the 100 greatest American films, who also named the film as the greatest American animated film of all time in 2008.Disney\'s take on the fairytale has had a huge cultural impact, resulting in a popular theme park attraction, a video game, and a Broadway musical.
