It is customary to see Israeli art as beginning with the founding of the Bezalel Art School in Jerusalem in 1906. The teachers who were brought to the school from Europe are considered the first Israeli artists. The history of Israeli art since reflected the upheavals of Israeli history and the changes in the Israeli's sense of identity. The Israel Museum is committed to the documenting of Israeli art and to the dissemination of information about it.
