The Haim Shiff Prize for Figurative-Realist Art was established in order to examine "the translation of realism into the unique creativity of contemporary artists."

Indeed, the 120 works by the eleven Prize laureates featured in the exhibition present the various, varied and at times surprising expressions of Israeli realist painting through artists hailing from different worlds and together present an updated contemporary situation report of this artistic style.
