Description
Dated 1966, Noah's Ark rendered in katazome stencil on paper captures the moment of great assembly — the pairs of animals coming to the ark, the family preparing for the flood, the vessel of salvation being loaded against an approaching catastrophe. Watanabe's love for the populated, communal scene finds full expression here: the ark's deck crowded with the diversity of creation, each animal pair rendered in his characteristic bold simplified forms, the biological extravagance of the created world presented as the object of divine care.
