Christ Calling the Fishermen to be His Disciples - Yellow
Christ raises his hand as he calls the fishermen, possibly James and John, to follow him, while their father, Zebdedee, mending a net, looks on. The fishermen, their hands upraised, step reverently towards the frontally shown figure of Christ, whose hand is overlapped by that of one of the men, as if to signify agreement and unity. The waves beneath bear the feet of Christ as if to foretell the miracle of his walking on the sea. Above three parrallel lines appear to point towards the future and events to come. The bright yellow background is frequently used by Sadao Watanabe and appears to glow behind the figures shown in colors of white, black, red, green and darker shade of yellow.

An exceptionally large Print in pristine condition; it has never been framed.

Listed on p. 70, Printing the Word: The Art of Sadao Watanabe

Mark 1.19-20: Jesus went a little farther on and saw two other brothers, James and John, the sons of Zebedee. They were in their boat getting their nets ready. As soon as Jesus saw them, he called them; they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and went with Jesus.

Christ Healing the Blind
In this fine Print, one of the Miracles of Healing, is touchingly portrayed. Christ gently places two fingers on the Blind Man's eye in blessing, their faces closely aligned. White cloud-like forms emanate like thoughts to guide the healing, the large 'cloud' echoeing Christ's floating hand, as black ones appear to leave. The little dog, just touching his master's gown, is alert to the importance of the Event and introduces an informal and familiar note.

Peter Sinking-Save Me Christ
Sadao Watanabe depicts a blibical theme, as is customary in his Works. This is a simple composition, framed on the side by a bird and foliage. The focus is on Christ's large figure walking on the waters and on his expressive gesture; St. Peter looks out beseechingly as he extends a long arm towards Christ, his Saviour. Three disciples in their boat enrich the story by gestures of prayer and expressions of fear and astonishment. The mottled blue color forms a wonderful 'watery' background to the black/white patterns of the image and strongly focusses the viewer on the miracle of the story.
