 Arie Bar-Lev: Israel, Then and Now September 2, 2008 - February 5, 2009 Translating his personal feelings through a camera lens, Arie Bar-Lev's photography provides a unique insight into the rise and growth of the Jewish nation. Embodied by a pioneering spirit, Israel has flourished into a formidable cultural and technological hub. As the personification of that spirit, Bar-Lev, in over sixty years of photography, shows that determination can cultivate beauty out of an arid wasteland. Bar-Lev's work confronts changes in immigration, education, healthcare, and military capability, which reflects Israel's conscious effort to forge a cohesive nation.
