Nahum Gutman Designed Tel-Aviv\'s emblem On Tel Aviv\'s 25th anniversary, the city leaders thought that the time had come for Tel Aviv to have its own emblem. The winning tender was by artist Nahum Gutman, whose father, the author S. Ben Zion, was among the first residents of Ahuzat Bait. Gutman\'s emblem features motifs of Tel Aviv and its spiritual father, Theodor Herzl. The seven stars relate to Herzl\'s plan for a seven-hour workday that for years was the official municipal workday. The lighthouse at the center of the logo marks the old port of Tel Aviv, which served as a gateway to the country for thousands of immigrants. Theemblem incorporates \"Tel Aviv\", which appears in the Book of Ezekiel, and the following quotation from the Book of Jeremiah (31:4): \"Again I will build thee, and thou shalt be built. \" The emblem was revised in 1959, on the occasion of Tel Aviv\'s 50th anniversary, at its center the number 50, canopied by residential buildings, to suggest the immense development of the city since its early days as a neighborhood of Yafo. Tel Aviv (Hebrew: תֵּל־אָבִיב; Arabic: تل أبيب‎) is the second most populous city in Israel. It has a population of 410,000 and a land area of 52 km2 (20 sq mi) The city is located on the Israeli Mediterranean coastline in central-west Israel, in Gush Dan, Israel\'s largest metropolitan area, containing 42% of Israel\'s population. It is also the largest and most populous city in Gush Dan, which is collectively home to 3,405,000 residents. The city is governed by the Tel Aviv-Yafo municipality, headed by Ron Huldai. Residents of Tel Aviv are referred to as Tel Avivim (singular: Tel Avivi). As the United Nations and most countries do not recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, Tel Aviv is home to many foreign embassies.[ Tel Aviv was founded by the Jewish community on the outskirts of the ancient port city of Jaffa (Hebrew: יָפוֹ Yafo; Arabic: يافا‎ Yāfā) in 1909. Jewish immigration meant that the growth of Tel Aviv soon outpaced Jaffa, which had a majority Arab population at the time.Tel Aviv and Jaffa were merged into a single municipality in 1950, two years after the establishment of the State of Israel. Tel Aviv\'s White City, designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2003, comprises the world\'s largest concentration of Bauhaus buildings. Tel Aviv is an economic hub, home to the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, corporate offices and research and development centers.It is the country\'s financial capital and a major performing arts and business center. Tel Aviv has the second-largest economy in the Middle East after Dubai, and is the 31st most expensive city in the world. With 2.5 million international visitors annually, Tel Aviv is the fifth-most-visited city in the Middle East and Africa. It is known as \"the city that never sleeps\" and a \"party capital\" due to its thriving nightlife, young atmosphere and famous 24-hour culture. Nachum Gutman, an Israeli painter, was born in Teleneşti, Bessarabia, (a part of the Russian Empire). In 1905 the family moved to the Land of Israel, and settled in Tel Aviv. Gutman immortalized the young city in drawings and writings. He was later designed the symbol of the city. Gutman studied art at the Bezalel Academy with Abel Pann and Ze\'ev Raban. From 1920-1926 he studied art in Vienna, Berlin and Paris. In 1923 he illustrated the works of his father and thus began a long career as a children\'s book illustration. Upon returning to Israel he participated in exhibitions of Israeli artists in the Tower of David. He belonged, along with Reuven Rubin and Ziona Tager to the \"Land of Israel Style\", which focused on landscapes and images of Israel, and emphasized the bright colors and light of the country. The artists in the group believed that the Arabs in Israel closely resemble people from biblical time, and frequently painted Arab people and villages. Nachum Gutman illustrated books by Chaim Nachman Bialik, and is considered a pioneer in children\'s books illustration in Israel. He illustrated hundreds of books, including his own. His style is dramatic, monumental, sculptural and primitive; and shows the influence of ancient Assyrian sculpture as well as Persian miniature art. In 1931 Gutman co-founded the children\'s journal \"Davar LaYeladim\" and remained on the staff for 32 years. He had a regular spot in the journal with illustrated stories. in 1934 the Tel Aviv municipality sent him to South Africa to paint the portrait of Jan Smuts. During the War of Independence he accompanied the fighters as a military illustrator and his drawings were published in \"The Negev Animals\". Gutman also designed scenery for theater. In 1966 he created a large-scale mosaic depicting scenes from Tel Aviv. In 1998 The Gutman Museum of Art opened in Neve Tzedek in Tel Aviv. Gutman died in Tel Aviv on November 28, 1980.
