Otte Wallish (1903–1977) ((ヘブライ語:אוטה וליש)) was a Czech emigre to Israel who established himself as a graphic designer and contributed to the symbolic self-representation of the Jewish state. ==Biography== Otte Wallish was born in the city of Znojmo (today in the Czech Republic). He attended the Vienna Art Academy. After serving in the Czech army, he opened a graphic design and advertising office in Prague.〔(Drawing the face of a nation )〕 He had jobs with the Jewish National Fund and United Israel Appeal. He married and then emigrated by boat to Palestine in 1934, a time of increasing peril for European Jews. His wife joined him in 1935; a sibling survived the Holocaust and lived in the Czech Republic. The couple had two children and settled in a Herzliya house with Bauhaus furniture.〔 〕 He used the German ''Wallisch'' and, after moving to Israel, adopted the English ''Wallish'' transliteration of his name in Hebrew. (His first name is often incorrectly cited as Otto.〔 For example, art critic Ronnen incorrectly criticizes the Israel Museum about the artist's name: "However the labels at the show are also in English, with some errors, like Otte for Otto."〕) During the 1930s and 1940s, Wallish worked on artistic arrangement, statistical graphs and other design aspects for books. In 1929, his own book was published, ''ABC: Ein Bilderbuch''. In 1936, Wallish set up a design studio in a building in Nahalat Binyamin, Tel Aviv, that had been chosen as a national landmark. His design studio doubled as a kind of front for SHA'I, the Haganah's secret service.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Otte Wallish」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
