Psychedelic Israeli Poster, Illustration of the Knesset, Western Wall, Dome of the Rock with Monsters and Humpty Dumpty, 1971
Psychedelic anti-war poster by Asher Ein Dor (Dikstein) and Dan Gilad, 1971, combining Israeli symbols with elements of Psychedelic culture and horror culture.
The poster, printed in gold, pink and green, features the Knesset, the menorah, the Western Wall, the Dome of the Rock and the Tower of David surrounded by monsters. The smoke rising from the menorah's seven branches, inscribed "we want freedom" and "we don't want to die", becomes a golden poisonous snake. The poster further features: Humpty Dumpty (from Lewis Carrol's "[Alice] Through the Looking-Glass") sitting on the flag of Israel, to which the Star of David is nailed; pawns from a chess board near and on the Western Wall; dice coming out of the walls of the Eastern City, and more. At the bottom: graves with the word "Why?" in Hebrew and English.
Signed in print by Asher Ein Dor and Dan Gilad, dated 1971.
