Menashe Kadishman , (1932 – 2015) - ראש כבש (”כבשה ריבוע צהוב וירוק בסגול”). Menashe Kadishman , (1932 –  2015) was an Israeli sculptor and painter.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. In 1995, he began painting 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”.
