The Keeper Of Sheep
Taal Goldman
2024
The Keeper of Sheep" is a small artist book. It is a collection of delicate drawings and paintings of brutal war. In times when the pain was unbearable, I found comfort in the methodical work of drawing, illustrating, and documenting the war and the stories of the fighters. I created hundreds of small, delicate sketches.
The book offers my personal perspective; it is not a must-have in every home, nor is it the most important war testimony you will encounter. However, I hope that anyone who chooses to hold this book will find some comfort in it. The ability to experience beauty even in the greatest pain is a human trait that brings healing to wounds, and perhaps hope for better days.
