Shlomo Artzi is an Israeli folk rock singer-songwriter, and composer. He began his career at the Naval Corps Band and in 1970 he had the opportunity to take part in the Israeli Song Festival, a prestigious song contest held every year. Still in military service and wearing a military uniform, he sang Pitom Achshav, Pitom Hayom (Suddenly Now, Suddenly Today), also known as Ahavtiha (I loved her), and won the first prize. After a short period of crisis he began a long acoustic tour all over Israel. Since the end of 1970s Artzi transformed into a pop and soft rock artist and inserted personal and associative elements into his lyrics. This style made him since the end of the 1980s an icon of an authentic Israeli man; sensitive, emotional, but in control. He won the Israeli Song Festival again in 1973. For his success and influence on Israeli culture he received in 2012 a doctorate of honor from Haifa University. 100 photographs and 35 color negatives of Shlomo Artzi. amongst otherss: as a soldier, portraits from the early stage of his career until early 1980s, with various artists, in performances, with fans, with his family; the negatives are from his early career, from different and varied poster photograph-sessions, and from different performances.
