Israel officially the State of Israel(Hebrew: מְדִינַת יִשְׂרָאֵל‎,Medīnat Yisrā\'el, Arabic: دولة إِسرائيل‎ is a parliamentary democracy in theMiddle East, on the south-Eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea. It bordersLebanon in the north, Syria in the northeast, Jordan and the West Bank in theeast, Egypt and the Gaza Strip on the southwest, and the Gulf of Aqaba in theRed Sea to the south, and it contains geographically diverse features withinits relatively small area. In its Basic Laws Israel defines itself as a Jewishand Democratic State; it is the world\'s only Jewish-majority state.On 29November 1947, the United Nations General Assembly recommended the adoption andimplementation of the partition plan of Mandatory Palestine.

Israel has since fought several wars with neighboring Arabstates, in the course of which it has occupied the West Bank, Sinai Peninsula(between 1967 and 1982), Gaza Strip and the Golan Heights. It annexed portionsof these territories, including East Jerusalem, but the border with the WestBank is disputed.

(Emil went on to study at theAkademie der bildenden KünsteinViennaand atAlexander Archipenko\'s own art school in Berlin, and became a prominent member of theSezession Graz. Emil\'s twin brother immigrated to the United States in 1939. Their other brother, Otto, died in one of theNazi concentration campsin the 1940s, and Emil under unknown circumstances in Paris.) Franz\'s first employment, arranged by his father, was as a window decorator of the bookstore of the Löwit-Verlag, a major publisher in Vienna. He had settled in Vienna in 1923 at age 18, where he resided for three years. As a Jew, his interest in Zionist issues began to develop and was encouraged by his reading the speeches ofChaim Weizmannand Ze\'ev (Vladimir) Jabotinsky.Kraus lived in Berlin 1926–33, where he eventually assumed the position of the sole graphic designer of the Friedrich Ernst Hübsch-Verlag (publisher). The job fulfilled his early desire to become an artist; he had envied brother Emil\'s talent. As a night student, he studied in the Reimann Schule in Berlin, the city where he met his wife-to-be Anni. Due to the frightening publicantisemiticincidences there, he and Anni decided to immigrate toPalestine. They spent a year, 1933–34, inBarcelona(arriving there from Paris) where Franz designedHollywood-film posters. Anni was a photographer for a German journalist whose wife was Jewish, a circumstance which possibly supported the association. Because there was no rabbi or an activesynagoguein Barcelona, they could not be married as Austrian citizens and were rather wed in a civil ceremony at the German embassy. Fortunately, through a generous uncle of Anni, they were able to buy visas to Palestine, sailing fromMarseilleto the port ofJaffa, arriving October 1934.The Krauses settled inTel Aviv. Through receptive manufacturers, Franz was able to acquire clients for advertising; he designed posters for companies such as Dubek cigarettes, for which he worked for 45 years. Another on-going client was Elite, a candy manufacturer (today owned byStraus). Prior to Kraus, who dealt with every aspect of graphic design, business people in pre-1948 Palestine and early Israel knew little about advertising methods. Even though Kraus employed photography later in his career, his most dynamic and colorful work was realized through his hand-painted artwork, frequently ingouache, sometimes calling on photographic studies shot by his wife. His best-known image, though not his aesthetic best, is the \"Visit Palestine\" poster of 1936. He was prolific but made very little money from frugal clients and, according to Kraus himself, was unable to work gratis.[citation needed]He was one of Israel\'s most-accomplished graphic designers.Exhibitions[edit]One-person venue, Tel Aviv Museum of Art, Tel Aviv, Israel, 1981\"Franz Krausz—Pionier der Werbegrafik in Israel,\" Neue Galerie Graz am Landesmuseum, Austria, 24 February–28 March 2005\"Franz Krausz—Blumen und Muschein Israels,\" Jüdischen Kulturzentrums, Graz, Austria, 1–28 March 2005\"Die Neuen Hebräer—100 Jahre Kunst in Israel\", Martin-Gropius-Bau, Berlin, Germany, 20 May–5 September 2005Collection of works[edit]Tel Aviv Museum of Art, Tel Aviv, Israel 1141
