Biography
Kadishman, 1954 Menashe Kadishman was born in Mandate Palestine to Bilha and Ben-Zion Kadishman.[ 1] [ 2]
From 1947 to 1950, Kadishman studied with the Israeli sculptor Moshe Sternschuss at the Avni Institute of Art and Design under Aharon Avni in Tel Aviv , and in 1954 with the Israeli sculptor Rudi Lehmann in Jerusalem .
In 1950, Kadishman joined the Nahal infantry brigade[ 1] shepherd on Kibbutz Ma'ayan Baruch for the next three years. This experience with nature, sheep, and shepherding had a significant impact on his later artistic work and career.
In 1959, Kadishman moved to London to study at Saint Martin's School of Art and the Slade School of Art .[ 3] Anthony Caro and Reg Butler .[ 3] Grosvenor Gallery . In 1972, he returned to Israel.

Art career
"Suspense," Israel Museum , Jerusalem In the 1960s, Kadishman's sculptures were Minimalist in style, and so designed as to appear to defy gravity. This was achieved either through careful balance and construction, as in Suspense (1966), or by using glass and metal so that the metal appeared unsupported, as in Segments (1968). The glass allowed the environment to be part of the work.
The first major appearance of sheep in his work was at the 1978 Venice Biennale , where Kadishman presented a flock of colored live sheep as living art.[ 5] portraits of sheep by the hundreds, and even thousands, each one different from the next. These instantly recognizable sheep portraits soon became his artistic "trademark".
