"Yerushalayim HaBenuya" - Boris Schatz, Jerusalem, 1924


"Yerushalayim HaBenuya" a daydream. First book, by Boris Schatz. Published by "Bezalel", Jerusalem, 1924.


'Yerushalayim HaBenuya' is a programmatic manifesto written according to the rules of the literary genre of futuristic novella, and it presents the author's vision of 'Bezalel 'and the Land of Israel in the future. This is an important text, because it reads a detailed picture of Bezalel's concept of Designation according to Schatz, and it allows a better understanding of his worldview.' (Yigal Tzlmona, "Boris Schatz, the Father of Israeli Art," Eretz Israel Museum Press, 2006).

According to Schatz's vision in the book in the distant future, the Bezalel Institute manages hundreds of branches and dozens of collaborative associations of artists, and employs two and a half million people and a woman out of a population of ten million.
