Landscape is at the very core of Israeli art and of Israeli existence in general: the yearned for, captivating, conquered, cultivated, spoiled land - the place that is fought and died for, the scenery that, for the majority of artists working in the first part of the 20th century, was a new, strange, and alien landscape, totally different from that of their countries of origin – with its Mediterranean sea, desert sand, and blinding light. But can landscape be depicted with "innocent eyes", free of ideology and politics
