“Horse” by Menashe Kadishman
A piece by famous Israeli artist Menashe Kadishman. The sculpture shows the streamlined black shade of the horse. Almost in the motion it looks like bending over in the space. The unique artisctic style makes the sculpture elegant, it is full of the energy and aspiration. Kadishman is well-known for earthworks, sculptures, performances, installations, and paintings redolent with religious themes. The artist's trademark are hundreds of portraits of sheep, each one different from another. At the 1978 Venice Biennale, Kadishman showed sheep for the first time: he presented a flock of colored sheep as living art. He believed, that “art grows from feelings and not rational calculations alone”.
