A new exhibition named “The Camera Man – Women and Men Photograph Jerusalem 1900-1950” opened on May 2016 in the Tower of David Museum. The exhibition shows photographs of the major photographers who lived and worked in Jerusalem during the first half of the twentieth century. The photographs were collected from different sources, among them the CZA. The Photograph Collection of the CZA contains collections of important photographers who operated in Palestine and documented its day to day life, starting from the end of the 19th century.   The first half of the twentieth century in Jerusalem was most eventful: the Ottoman Empire gave way to British rule, the members of the new Yishuv went out of the boundaries of the Old Yishuv, and the Jewish-Arab conflict broke out in full force. The exhibition takes a look at this complex and fascinating city and presents the visual work of the photographers who worked here, illustrating how they saw the city, and how the city was reflected in their work.   Table set with the flags of Seaford unit Highlanders (Scottish regiments) at King David Hotel, toward a meeting of the battalions, Jerusalem, 1934. Photographer: Zvi Oron (NZO0526)   The exhibition displays photos from the CZA collections. Each photographer documented Jerusalem in his own unique way. Zvi Oron (Orushkes) started his career at the Jewish National Fund, but he is best remembered for the years he photographed for the Mandate Administration. In 1929 he was officially appointed by the High Commissioner, Sir John Chancellor, as the photographer of the British Mandate Government in Palestine, a title that gave him unprecedented access to British officials and military facilities. Oron also documented British leisure in Palestine: sports competitions and lavish cocktail parties. Even less flashy events were documented: clashes between Jews and Arabs in Palestine and their impact on the British authority.   Yaacov Ben-Dov came to Palestine in 1907 from Kiev. He studied at Bezalel Art School and then established the Photography Department there. Ben-Dov is considered the father of Hebrew movies in Palestine. His first motion picture documented the entry of General Allenby into Jerusalem on 1917. Thereafter, once a year he filmed a documentary about life in Palestine. The Jewish National Fund and Keren Hayesod used his movies to raise funds for the Zionist enterprise.   A general view of Jerusalem, 1945. Photographer: Tim Gidal (NTG1359)   Tim Gidal was one of the first journalist photographers. He documented historical events around the world and also Jewish settlements in Palestine during the Mandate. Gidal used motifs from art and developed the concept of spontaneous documentary photography.   Zadok Bassan is apparently the first Jewish photographer who was born in Jerusalem. He began his work as a photographer on 1900. He mainly photographed the Old Yishuv, but he also photographed the New Yishuv. As a son of an Orthodox family, he became the "official" photographer of the Orthodox community in Jerusalem. Many of his photographs were taken at the Diskin Orphanage and were sent to donors.   Hanukkah party at the Diskin Orphanage. Photographer: Zadok Bassan (GNZB1501)   The exhibition displays photographs of Arab photographers too. A few photographs taken by Chalil Rissas were found at the General Photograph Collection of the CZA. Rissas was born to an Arab-Cristian family in Jerusalem. He sent his photographs to various newspapers during the 1940's and documented the fighting of the Arabs. His photographs can be found in various sources, among them the Haganah Archives and the IDF Archives.   Hamutal Wachtel, associate curator of the exhibition, says that "The Museum tries to tell the story of Jerusalem each time from a different angle and a different medium. This time it was decided to focus on photographers who worked in Jerusalem and documented it using their camera." She tells about the preparation for the exhibition: "We started mapping photographers through books, newspapers, phone books and information we got from experts and collectors. The search for photographs was conducted in various archives, and amongst collectors and individuals, including offspring of photographers. After the search we chose 33 photographers who worked in Jerusalem during this period." This is a list of notable Jewish American photographers.

Established in 1906 by Jewish painter and sculptor Boris Schatz, Bezalel is Israel's oldest institution of higher education. It is named for the Biblical figure Bezalel, son of Uri (Hebrew: בְּצַלְאֵל בֶּן־אוּרִי‎), who was appointed by Moses to oversee the design and construction of the Tabernacle (Exodus 35:30). The art created by Bezalel's students and professors in the early 1900s is considered the springboard for Israeli visual arts in the 20th century. Bezalel is currently located at the Mount Scopus campus of Hebrew University of Jerusalem, with the exception of the Architecture department, which is housed in the historic Bezalel building in downtown Jerusalem. In 2009 it was announced that Bezalel will be relocated to a new campus in the Russian Compound, as part of a municipal plan to revive Jerusalem's downtown. The new Bezalel campus is planned by the Tokyo-based award-winning architectural firm SANAA.

The school opened in rented premises on Ethiopia Street. It moved to a complex of buildings constructed in the 1880s surrounded by a crenelated stone wall, owned by a wealthy Arab. In 1907, the property was purchased for Boris Schatz by the Jewish National Fund. Schatz lived on the campus with his wife and children.[1] Bezalel's first class consisted of 30 young art students from Europe who successfully passed the entrance exam. Eliezer Ben Yehuda was hired to teach Hebrew to the students, who hailed from various countries and had no common language.[2] His wife, Hemda Ben-Yehuda, worked as Boris Schatz's secretary.[3] In addition to traditional sculpture and painting, the school offered workshops that produced decorative art objects in silver, leather, wood, brass, and fabric. Many of the craftsmen were Yemenite Jewish silversmiths who had a long tradition of working in precious metals, as silver- and goldsmithing, which had been traditional Jewish occupations in Yemen. Yemenite immigrants were also frequent subjects of Bezalel artists. Many of the students went on to become well-known artists, among them Meir Gur Aryeh, Ze'ev Raban, Shmuel Ben David, Ya'ackov Ben-Dov, Zeev Ben-Zvi, Jacob Eisenberg, Jacob Pins, Jacob Steinhardt and Hermann Struck.[4] In 1912, Bezalel had one female student, Marousia (Miriam) Nissenholtz, who used the pseudonym Chad Gadya.[5] Bezalel closed in 1929 in the wake of financial difficulties. After Hitler's rise to power, Bezalel's board of directors asked Josef Budko, who had fled Germany in 1933, to reopen it and serve as its director.[6] The New Bezalel School of Arts and Crafts opened in 1935, attracting many teachers and students from Germany, many of them from the Bauhaus school shut down by the Nazis.[7] Budko recruited Jakob Steinhardt and Mordecai Ardon to teach at the school, and both succeeded him as directors.[6] In 1958, the first year that the prize was awarded to an organization, Bezalel won the Israel Prize for painting and sculpture.[8] In 1969, Bezalel became a state-supported institution. In 1975 it was recognized by the Council for Higher Education in Israel as an institute of higher education.[9] It completed its relocation to Mount Scopus in 1990. Ceramics: the "Bezalel tiles" Further information: Israeli ceramics § The ceramics of Bezalel, and Bezalel school Bezalel tiles on the facade of the Moshav Zkenim Synagogue Bezalel tile scene, Lederberg House Decorative ceramic tiles with figurative motives with both biblical and Zionist scenes were created in the 1920s at the Bezalel School, with some surviving until today. In Tel Aviv some of the best known examples are the following: Lederberg House (1925) at the corner of Allenby Street and Rothschild Boulevard, ceramic tiles designed by Ze'ev Raban Moshav Zkenim Synagogue (also spelled Zekenim), 89 Allenby Street Municipal School, 37 Ahad Ha’Am Street (built 1924) Bialik House, or Beit Bialik There are Bezalel-made ceramic street signs surviving in Jerusalem. Bezalel pavilion Bezalel Pavilion near Jaffa Gate Bezalel pavilion was a tin-plated wooden structure with a crenelated roof and tower built outside Jaffa Gate in 1912. It was a shop and showroom for Bezalel souvenirs. The pavilion was demolished by the British authorities six years later. Bezalel style Bezalel developed a distinctive style of art, known as the Bezalel school, which portrayed Biblical and Zionist subjects in a style influenced by the European jugendstil (art nouveau) and traditional Persian and Syrian art. The artists blended "varied strands of surroundings, tradition and innovation," in paintings and craft objects that invokes "biblical themes, Islamic design and European traditions," in their effort to "carve out a distinctive style of Jewish art" for the new nation they intended to build in the ancient Jewish homeland.[10] Today Bezalel on Mount Scopus in Jerusalem In 2006, the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design celebrated its 100th anniversary. Today, it is located on Mount Scopus in Jerusalem and has 1,500 students. Faculties include Fine Arts, Architecture, Ceramic Design, Industrial Design, Jewelry, Photography, Visual Communication, Animation, Film, and Art History & Theory. The architecture campus is in downtown Jerusalem, in the historic Bezalel building.
