Date: October 17, 2012 - March 24, 2013
Event Description
The Billy Graham Center Museum at Wheaton College presents "Beauty Given by Grace", a new traveling exhibit featuring the work of Japanese printmaker Sadao Watanabe.
The Billy Graham Center Museum proudly serves as the inaugural venue for this premier exhibit of private collections composed of 50 of the artist's original stencil prints, calendars, and cards.
As a teen, Sadao Watanabe (1913--1996) converted from Buddhism to Christianity. Through his art he expressed stories of his new faith with indigenous Japanese language and style, depicting biblical themes using a traditional folk art of hand-cut-stencil dyeing technique.
