About the Artist
Corita Kent, born Frances Elizabeth Kent and also known as Sister Mary Corita Kent, was an American artist, designer and educator, and former religious sister. Key themes in her work included Christianity, and social justice. She was also a teacher at the Immaculate Heart College.
At the end of the turbulent 1960s, the United States became enamored with Corita Kent, a nun who made joyous, politically charged and boldly colorful screen prints. Featured on the cover of Newsweek in 1967 under the headline “The nun: Going modern,” she symbolized an evolving and more liberal Catholic Church.
