Please view details of “The Tide” by Menashe Kadishman
Menashe Kadishman was born in 1932. Although Kadishman produced a wide range of art, he remains best remembered as a sculptor and painter who created a great variety of sheep images in different artistic styles including especially Minimalism, Conceptual Art, and Neo-Expressionism. The artist believed, that “art grows from feelings and not rational calculations alone”. Significantly, the author usually transfers his message through colors and expressive eyes of his heroes, as, for instance, described in the blog about “Gesture to Mondriaan” series.
