Sadao Watanabe Pentecost 1965
Sadao Watanabe, Pentecost, 1965, block print on rice paper. Signed, dated and character blocked in red by the artist. Framed size: 9.5 x 9.5 inches. Fine condition. Watanabe Sadao, July 7, 1913, – January 8, 1996, was a Japanese artist best known for his prints that meld biblical imagery with the traditional Japanese folk art known as mingei. Watanabe's work portrays the Christian gospel with a distinctive use of crumpled wet paper mixed with mineral pigments suspended in soy milk, known as katazome. -I would most like to see them hanging where people ordinarily gather, - the artist said of his work. -Because Jesus brought the gospel for the people.-
