Born in Yugoslavia before World War II, Reisinger survived the Holocaust and moved to the newly-
formed state of Israel in the late-1940s. He studied Art at the Bezalel Academy of Art in Jerusalem and
also at the Central School of Art in London under Abram Games. Back in Israel, he began a long and
successful graphic design career which included such highlights as designing the Israeli Pavilion for
Montreal’s ‘67 Expo, creating Israel’s first color magazine and designing the new El Al logo, as well
as an aluminum statue for the Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem. This poster is for an
exhibition of his works.

The

was an annual music festival held during the Cold War. Edel designed at least four
posters for the event in 1952, 1955, 1959 and this one in 1963. He depicts the two, just-opened
architectural centerpieces of the Berlin music scene beneath the festival’s logo. It is his only photomontage.
