Graphic works

Many artists - graphic designers, cartoonists and painters - combined Shamir artwork within their own art. The most popular were the Israel State Symbol and bank notes of Bank Israel from 1959, the use of which enabled them to convey a wide range of messages. In this section we are including a small sample of such works that we were able to discover over the last few years. We shall be delighted to receive additional works of this kind from the surfers and explorers of this web-site and shall be keen to add them to this collection.
