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. Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design is Israel's national school of art, founded in 1906 by Boris Schatz. It is named for the Biblical figure Bezalel, son of Uri (Hebrew:), who was appointed by Moses to oversee the design and construction of the Tabernacle (Exodus 35:30). The Bezalel School was founded in 1906 by Boris Schatz. Theodor Herzl and the early Zionists believed in the creation of a national style of art blending classical Jewish/Middle Eastern and European traditions. The teachers of Bezalel developed a distinctive school of art, known as the Bezalel school, which portrayed Biblical and Zionist subjects in a style influenced by the European jugendstil (art nouveau) and traditional Persian and Syrian art. The artists blended "varied strands of surroundings, tradition and innovation," in paintings and craft objects that invokes "biblical themes, Islamic design and European traditions," in their effort to "carve out a distinctive style of Jewish art" for the new nation they intended to build in the ancient Jewish homeland. The Bezalel School produced decorative art objects in a wide range of media: silver, leather, wood, brass and fabric. While the artists and designers were Western-trained, the craftsmen were often members of the Yemenite Jewish community, which has a long tradition of working in precious metals. Silver and goldsmithing had been traditional Jewish occupations in Yemen. Yemenite immigrants were also frequent subjects of Bezalel school artists. Leading artists of the school include Meir Gur Aryeh, Ze'ev Raban, Shmuel Ben David, Ya'ackov Ben-Dov, Ze'ev Ben-Tzvi, Jacob Eisenberg, Jacob Pins, Jacob Steinhardt, and Hermann Struck In 1912, the school had only one female student, Marousia (Miriam) Nissenholtz, who used the pseudonym Chad Gadya.The school closed down in 1929 in the wake of economic difficulties, but reopened in 1935, attracting many teachers and students from Germany, many of them from the Bauhaus school shut down by the Nazis. The Holocaust (from the Greek ὁλόκαυστος holókaustos: hólos, "whole" and kaustós, "burnt")also known as the Shoah (Hebrew:, HaShoah, "catastrophe"; Yiddish:, Churben or Hurban, from the Hebrew for "destruction"), was the mass murder or genocide of approximately six million Jews during World War II, a programme of systematic state-sponsored murder by Nazi Germany, led by Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party, throughout German-occupied territory.Of the nine million Jews who had resided in Europe before the Holocaust, approximately two-thirds were killed.Over one million Jewish children were killed in the Holocaust, as were approximately two million Jewish women and three million Jewish men. A network of over 40,000 facilities in Germany and German-occupied territory were used to concentrate, hold, and kill Jews and other victims.Some scholars argue that the mass murder of the Romani and people with disabilities should be included in the definition,and some use the common noun "holocaust" to describe other Nazi mass murders, including those of Soviet prisoners of war, Polish and Soviet civilians, and homosexuals.Recent estimates based on figures obtained since the fall of the Soviet Union indicates some ten to eleven million civilians and prisoners of war were intentionally murdered by the Nazi regime.The persecution and genocide were carried out in stages. Various laws to remove the Jews from civil society, most prominently the Nuremberg Laws of 1935, were enacted in Germany before the outbreak of World War II in Europe. Concentration camps were established in which inmates were subjected to slave labor until they died of exhaustion or disease. Where Germany conquered new territory in eastern Europe, specialized paramilitary units called Einsatzgruppen murdered Jews and political opponents in mass shootings. The occupiers required Jews and Romani to be confined in overcrowded ghettos before being transported by freight train to extermination camps where, if they survived the journey, most were systematically killed in gas chambers. Every arm of Germany's bureaucracy was involved in the logistics that led to the genocides, turning the Third Reich into what one Holocaust scholar has called "a genocidal state".
