Corita Kent

Corita Kent (Sister Mary Corita), a contemporary of Andy Warhol and Ed Ruscha, created vibrant screenprints that merged corporate logos with literary excerpts, blending religious themes with advertising. A member of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, she taught and advocated at Immaculate Heart College before moving to Boston in 1968 to focus on art. While her early work was religious, it evolved in the 1960s to include secular themes, incorporating imagery from the civil rights movement and antiwar protests alongside politically charged slogans.
