the art of Sadao Watanabe
I really enjoy the art of Sadao Watanabe, an internationally acclaimed 20th century Japanese artist. All of his prints are depictions of Bible stories, mostly New Testament. Beautifully composed, with dramatic colors and bold lines, and a very Japanese point of view. One print shows Jesus and his disciples at the last supper eating sushi and fish and drinking sake. Our church owns a couple of Watanabe prints, so I has some idea of what his work was like, but right now, in the First Pres Gallery we have an amazing exhibit (mostly from a private collection) which will be on display through March. I recommend it.
