(ARR)
Note: In 1948 the state of Israel was founded, at that time Salvador Dali was already a famous artist. He was close to Jewish culture and was always impressed by its history. He was certainly aware that the seven-branched candelabrum is one of the most important religious symbols of Judaism. The sculpture is called 'Menorat Hashalom', which translates as 'The Light of Peace'. In front of the entrance to Israel's Ben Gurion Airport, it stands 5 metres high as a monument. Written on the candelabrum are the Hebrew words for heroism, peace, infinity, strength, inner greatness and wisdom. The much smaller and numbered bronze version follows this example of an artistic monument.
