Menashe Kadishman worked as a shepherd on a kibbutz from 1950 to 1953. The experience he gained in nature, as a shepherd, had a lasting influence on his later career as an artist. (The first time sheep appeared in his work was in 1978 at the Venice Biennale. He presented a flock of live, painted sheep as 'living art'. In 1995 he started painting portraits of sheep (see photo gallery), hundreds, thousands even, all different from one another. These instantly recognizable sheep portraits soon became his trademark.) From 1947 to 1950, Kadishman studied with the sculptor Moshe Sternschuss at the Avni Institute in Tel Aviv. From 1954 he continued his studies with the Israeli sculptor Rudi Lehmann in Jerusalem. In 1959 he moved to London. He had his first solo exhibition in 1965 at the Grosvenor Gallery. His sculptures became more minimalist in nature in the 1960s and were designed as if to challenge gravity, as in the work Suspense (1966) or by using both glass and metal, making the metal appear to float, like the Work Segments (1968). In 1968 Kadishman was invited to documenta 4 in Kassel. Kadishman stayed in England until 1972. Working (selection)[edit]
