“Ein-Hod” artists Village
Once driving back south towards Tel Aviv we had a stopover at “Ein Hod” artists Village that is located off Road #5 old Tel Aviv-Haifa Highway on a hill overlooking the Middetraine beaches of Atlit fortress.
Established in 1953 on a concept led by Marcel Janco, one of the founders of the “DaDa” art movement. “DaDa” derived its philosophy from the “Ready-Made” art stream in Europe’s early 20’s century, and later from the more controversial avant-garde. “DaDa” Still has a measurable impact on the contemporary Israeli avant-garde stream nowadays.
Marcel Janco’s memory is principally maintained in “Ein-Hod” art museum that was reopened and grew to include a permanent exhibit of Janco’s work.
The building of Israel’s 1st and only artists’ village provides its residents with a supportive and creative framework, for people who paint, create modern art, musicians, writers, and theater creators. The village is beautiful. It is possible only to walk through the well-kept ever greenery that surrounds the private household of its residents. Though, because walking is up and down the hill it is mostly recommended to wear comfortable shoes. The “Dona Rosa” restaurant that serves meat in Argentinian style was lovely and bohemian.
