A piece by famous Israeli painter Menashe Kadishman. The image of homeland is shown through a sheep, the artist's trademark. The country is developing and growing, full of trees, flowers, animals and life. Throughout the career, Kadishman has produced a wide range of sculptures, earthworks, performance, paintings. He believed, that the “art grows from feelings and not rational calculations alone.” The artist is known for 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.
