Staff Pick of the Week
CORITA KENT
Corita Kent (1918-1986), also known as Sister Mary Corita, was an artist, educator, and social justice activist. At age 18, Kent entered the order of the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary (IHM) and went on to teach at and eventually head the art department of the Immaculate Heart College. She was a prolific artist creating primarily serigraphs, but also heavily utilized film, photography, and watercolor throughout her life. Kent’s work is vibrant and hopeful in its incorporation of electric colors, religious texts, popular song lyrics and poetry, advertising images and slogans, and an overall message of peace.
In 1968 Pilgrim Press, the publishing arm of the liberal-religious United Church of Christ, published a Sister Corita box set celebrating the scope of her life’s work. The box set includes 30 facsimile prints of her artwork and a hardcover book containing essays by Kent, Harvey Cox, and Samuel A. Eisenstein. Kent’s essay Art and Beauty in the Life of the Sister shines a light on her way of viewing the world with “wild booming joy” and her playful process of looking for lessons from the psalms in everything. Harvey Cox reflects on Kent’s “festive involvement with the world” in her daily habits and through her art, and Eisenstein shares his experience of attending an Art & Community Workshop lead by Kent and two other IHM Sisters. The book concludes with black and white catalog of Kent’s prints from 1952-1967.

Artist CORITA KENT (1918-1986) Graphic Design and Social Justice
In 1968, Corita sought dispensation from her vows and moved to Boston, where she continued to work and remained active in social causes. At the time of her death, she had created almost 800 serigraph editions, thousands of watercolors, and innumerable public and private commissions. (source)
This idealism dovetailed with the zeitgeist — her work found its way into civil rights and Vietnam protests — and landed her on the cover of national magazines; a stamp she designed for the United States Postal Service sold more than 700 million copies. But today she’s mostly remembered as a cult icon of sorts, whose life and work suggest a kind of alternate history of Pop Art.

Key themes in her work included Christianity, and social justice.
She was also a teacher at the Immaculate Heart College. via Wikipedia

Sister Corita Kent’s "10 Rules for Students, Teachers, and Life," 1967-68.
Corita Kent’s list for students, educators, and everyday experiences, serves as sagely and flexible advice for living life in a more creative capacity. It incorporates the trials and tribulations, as well as the joys of being an artist (or being artful) and/or an educator. Read more about the pedagogy behind Kent's list in my Artfully Learning post "Making a list, checking it twice, going to receive some artistic advice"
