Menashe Kadishman, Israeli, 1932-1945.

Menashe Kadishman's early work is in the medium of sculpture. In these works, he created a figurative sculpture.

Later, he began to create sculptures in bronze and stone - archaic figures or abstract structures that referred to altars.

During the 1980s he began to deal with the myth of "Akedat Yitzhak", around which he created many paintings and sculptures.

In his youth, Kadishman worked as a shepherd in Kibbutz Maayan Baruch. This experience with nature, sheep, and the shepherd had a significant impact on his artistic work and career.

In 1995 he began to paint portraits of sheep, by hundreds, and even thousands, from each other.

These immediately recognizable portraits of sheep became his trademark.
