KADISHMAN, MENASHE
Place
(Israeli, 1932-2015)
Description
Oil on canvas. Boldly signed lower center, and again on reverse in Hebrew and English.
summary
On the verso of the canvas appears Cupid’s bow and arrow above two passionate and playful sheep.
Well-known for his renderings of sheep in both painting and sculpture, Menashe Kadishman’s obsession with this Bible-alluded animal began while serving as a shepherd in the Nahal unit of Kibbutz Ma’ayan Baruch, located at the intersection of the Israeli, Syrian and Lebanese borders.
Sadly, Kadishman died this past summer.
21.75 x 15.75 inches / 55.25 x 40 cm.
