The composition features a radiant band of green field with a deep yellow circle sun. The purple and yellow-green text feature the Shaker hymn “’Tis the Gift to Be Simple.”

The print is newly framed in a beautiful light maple frame with UV-protective acrylic, ready to hang. The fresh presentation enhances the saturated palette while preserving the work for years to come.

This piece is believed to be by Corita Kent serigraph dating from 1971 based on auction records, signature, paper, and printing technique. It does not currently appear in the Corita Art Center’s online archive, and inquiries are underway to confirm catalog placement. Please review photographs carefully for detail.

Condition: Excellent vintage condition. No visible edge handling or wear. Paper appears clean and well-preserved. Professionally framed with archival materials and UV acrylic.

A luminous and uplifting work that reflects the spirit of Kent’s practice — everyday words transformed into vibrant visual poetry, celebrating the beauty of simplicity.
