This Israeli stamp, issued in 1976, commemorates the 70th anniversary of the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem — the country’s oldest and most prestigious art institution. The design features a stylized Bezalel emblem, shaped like a key, symbolizing the institution’s role in unlocking Israel’s creative and cultural identity. The geometric color blocks in red, blue, and yellow represent modern artistic principles and Bauhaus influence. With a denomination of 1.85 Israeli lira, this issue celebrates Bezalel’s enduring contribution to art, design, and national heritage.
