Birth and sacrifice have rarely been themes in 20th century art, but they are a central motif in the sculpture of Kadishman. He uses iron, the hard, bleak impermeable material of modern civilization, to delve into the mysterious sources of human nature.In sculptures and installations, Israeli artist Menashe Kadishman has explored concepts of sacrifice, birth, and redemption, giving contemporary meaning to ancient and Biblical themes and myths. His use of live sheep for an installation at the 1978 Venice Biennale signaled a dramatic shift from his minimalism of the 1960s. This book focuses on his recent work, but does so within the framework of his ceuvre. |
