About 240 paper items - drawings, sketches, design works, graphic design and commercial works, from the archive of the architect, designer and painter Uriel Kahana. Rome, Tel Aviv (and other places?), 1920s to 1960s. The archive contains original works from two major periods in Kahana's life: one part includes about 180 illustrations and drawings from his youth, when he studied architecture in Rome and from the first decade of his life in Palestine (1920s-30s); the second part contains about 60 drawings, sketches and design works from the 1940s to 1960s. Among the items: Numerous drawings in pencil - portraits, figures, still life, buildings and views (among them drawings of sites in the Old City of Jerusalem and in Jaffa); caricatures, sketches for greeting cards and illustrated leaves; sketches for signs, a bookplate, a theater program, costumes and stage sets (mainly furniture); samples of fabrics with comments about picking fabrics for costumes (in 1950s and 1960s Kahana created works for "Habima" - stage furniture and programs for "A Touch of a Poet" by Eugene O'Neil and "Murder of the Innocent" by William Saroyan; stage sets for the play "Throw him to the Dogs" by Yigal Mossinson - together with Peter Frye - and stage design and costume design for "War and Peace" by Tolstoy), and other items. Enclosed are tens of printed paper items - programs of plays in the production of which Kahana was involved, book covers which he designed as well as newspaper cuttings and printed leaflets related to his works. Many of the drawings and sketches were created on small scraps of paper or on tracing paper. Size and condition vary. Creases, wear and tears at margins of some items; worming to some items. For more information about the commercial works by Kahana, see essays by Nirit Shalev-Khalifa and Ben Zion Kahana in the catalogue "One of the last in a Generation - Uriel Kahana - Architect, Painter, Designer", catalogue of an exhibition in Bauhaus Center in Tel-Aviv, 2003, pp 18-31. Provenance: Collection of Ben Zion Kahana.
