EDITORS COMMENTS
Watanabe Seitei's masterpiece, "The Twelve Months," between 1900 and 1918, is a breathtaking series of ink on silk paintings that showcase the beauty and balance of the four seasons in Asia. This collection, now housed at Musée Cernuschi in Paris, is a testament to the artist's deep connection with nature and his mastery of the Nihonga artistic school. Each painting in the series depicts a specific month, with animals and plants in their seasonal glory. In the fourth month painting, "Shigatsu," we see a precariously perched bird atop a tree, surrounded by blossoming cherry trees and vibrant, colorful tree tops. The bird's position overhead adds a sense of overhead perspective, while the use of natural pigments adds depth and texture to the artwork. Watanabe Seitei's attention to detail is evident in the way the birds and plants are rendered with delicate brushstrokes and a keen sense of observation. The wildlife and vegetation are depicted in a balanced and harmonious way, reflecting the artist's reverence for the natural world. This painting, along with the other eleven in the series, is a testament to Watanabe Seitei's artistic vision and his place in the history of Asian art. The Twelve Months is a must-see for anyone interested in the heritage of art from the 20th century, particularly from the Asian continent and Japan. The Cernuschi Museum in Paris is the fortunate location where these treasured works are preserved and displayed for all to enjoy.
