Get With The Action

Artwork by Corita Kent, Sister Mary Corita of the Immaculate Heart Sisters


Corita was with the IHC, which today continues on as an independent charity with their values and mission -- https://www.immaculateheartcommunity.org/


"One of the most unlikely Pop Art phenomena of the 1960s and ’70s", Sister Mary predated Andy Warhol as an early adopter of serigraphy, silk-screening art, once considered a 'lowly' sign painting technique until the Pop Art movement in the 1960s.

Sister Corita became a force in the art world and shared Warhol’s interest in iconography of advertising and, like Warhol, used symbols in art to form messaging that went deeper, "lifting texts from advertisements and poems and deconstructing and juxtaposing them to form colorful typographic works to help people, as she said, 'use their whole selves better.'


Corita's 'idealism dovetailed with the zeitgeist of the times', the counterculture, the peace and environment movement that called for personal and direct action. "Her work found its way into civil rights and Vietnam protests — and landed her on the cover of national magazines..."


Sister Mary Corita, Corita Kent, is often forgotten in these latter times but she was and continues to be “a key figure in the history of American art.”
