SISTER MARY CORITA KENT (AMERICAN, 1918-1986)Sister Mary Corita Kent
American, 1918-1986
Eternity is in Love with the Productions of Time , 1966
Screenprint, signed in graphite
Textual, pop-art style image of red striping, matted and framed, identified to verso.
Born Frances Kent in 1918 in Fort Dodge, Iowa, she grew up in Los Angeles and joined the Order of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in 1936, taking the name Sister Mary Corita.
She graduated from Immaculate Heart College in 1941 and then taught grade school in British Columbia. In 1946 she returned to Immaculate Heart College to teach art. In 1951, she received a master's degree in art history from the University of Southern California; it is also the year she exhibited her first silkscreen print. Corita's earliest works were largely iconographic; known as neo-gothic they borrowed phrases and depicted images from the Bible.
By the 1960s, she was using popular culture such as song lyrics and advertising slogans but in 1965 her Peace on Earth Christmas exhibit in IBM's New York show room was seen as too subversive and Corita had to amend it.
The Boston Gas tank on the Southeast Expressway still bears her famous 150-foot "Rainbow Swash", which is a similar to her design for the 1985 Love Stamp.
Sight: 26 x 9 1/4 in. (66 x 23.5 cm.), frame: 30 x 12 1/4 in. (76.2 x 31.1 cm.)
Ex Iowa Wesleyan University collection,
Gift of Mr. and Mrs. James Schramm, Burlington, IA 1972
