Purim, traditional masquerade party organized by B. Agadati. A poster in lithographic printing - Berson and Kaufman, Tel-Aviv, 1925. [Design: Aryeh Elhanani and Israel Paldi (Feldman)].
An advertising poster for Baruch Agadati's Purim ball, for invited guests only, which was held in the Girls' School hall. A modernist-Avant-garde illustration appears in the center surrounded by names of sponsors (owners of businesses in Tel-Aviv), donors of prizes and the program of the event.
Names of the painters Feldman (Israel Paldi) and Sapoznikof (Aryeh Elhanani / el-Hanani / Sapoznikov) as designers of some of the ball's rooms, appear on the right margins; in the catalogue "Agadati - Pioneer of Modern Dance in Palestine" (Editor: Giora Manor, published by "Sifriyat HaPoalim" and the Dance Library in Israel, Tel-Aviv, 1968) it is noted that this poster was designed by Aryeh Elhanani (student of Russian Avant-garde in Kharkov) and Israel Paldi, however it is not improbable that the poster was designed by Agadati himself, who was also known as a painter.
100X71.5 cm. Fair condition. Folding marks and creases. Stains. Tears and some open tears (some affecting the illustration), professionally repaired. The entire poster is mounted on thin acid free paper.
