ISBN: 9783791352336.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis full-scale survey of Corita Kents work includes prints and ephemera from all phases of her life, revealing her importance as an activist printmaker and a sylistic innovator in graphic design. Artist, activist, teacher, and devout Catholic Corita Kent (1918-1986) eloquently combined her passions for faith and politics during her rich and varied career. As a teacher at LAs Immaculate Heart College, she fostered a creative and collaborative arts community and developed an interest in printmaking. Her posters, murals, and signature serigraphs combined messages of love and faith with images from popular culture and inventive use of type and color. For Kent, printmaking was a populist medium to communicate with the world around her. This activist spirit came most alive in the 1960s, when her posters and murals addressed subjects like racism and poverty, U.S. military brutalities in Vietnam, and conflicts between radical and conservative positions in the Catholic Church. Even after the war, and after she had left the church, she continued to be active in Bostons urban issues, producing prints and commissioned works until her death in 1986. Full of the lively, colorful work that was so iconically hers, this volume presents four decades of a life dedicated to serving others through and with the language of art.\n\nThis book accompanies a traveling exhibition:\nMuseum of Contemporary Art Cleveland, Cleveland, Ohio\nJune 6 – August 31, 2014\n\nBaker Museum at Artis-Naples, Naples, Florida\nSeptember 27, 2014 – January 4, 2015\n\nThe Andy Warhol Museum, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania\nJanuary 31 - April 19, 2015\n\nPasadena Museum of California Art, Pasadena, California\nJune 14 – November 1, 2015\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Prestel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45212715319349,"sku":"ByrdShop_3791352334","price":500.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9783791352336_1cf560f2-37c2-4a84-ae5a-19573142e887.jpg?v=1779906318","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/someday-is-now-the-art-of-corita-kent-9783791352336","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
