Sign Language: The Pop Art of Sister Corita

This collection of serigraph prints by Sister Corita Kent (November 20, 1918 -September 18, 1986) is drawn from the MAM Collections.
The works are indicative of Kent's use of text and typography as an essential element of the composition. Kent was an activist in the 60's and was known as a poet-artist. This is the first time the MAM has shown this collection of works. The recently published book "Come Alive! The Spirited Art of Sister Corita" as well as "Learning by Heart: Teachings to Free the Creative Spirit" are available in the MAM Bookstore.
