Note du spécialiste

Post Visit Palestine is a satiric appropriation of the original 1936 Visit Palestine poster. Visit Palestine poster was designed by the Israeli artist Franz Kraus in 1936, and published by a Zionist development agency to encourage a critical mass prior to the foundation of Israel. In 1995, another Israeli artist David Tartakover reprinted the poster as a way of celebrating the optimism generated by the Oslo Peace Accords.
After the failure of the peace process it was the time for a third print declaring the failure of the previous two prints. (Amer Shomali, 2016)
