The first thing I said to Nellie Scott, Executive Director of the Corita Art Center in downtown Los Angeles that preserves and promotes Corita Kent's art, teaching, and passion for social justice, was that I wish we didn't need to do this. I wish Corita Kent's work had already done its work, that the world was free of oppression, racism, inequality, chaos and fear. Maybe Nellie and I could just talk about love and a butterfly, the upcoming showing of Kent's work at Andrew Kreps and kaufmann repetto in NYC this month. But the times they are a'changing and oh how they stay the same. The new Corita Art Center opened in March and since, Pope Francis has passed, the structure of democracy in America has been bent to a near breaking point and art has an act of protest and social awareness is struggling to find its footing. So, it's time for Corita Kent once again. In this conversation on the Radio Juxtapoz podcast produced by the Unibrow, Nellie Scott speaks of the founding of the Center in 1997 and its association with the Immaculate Heart Community, how Corita Kent went from entering the religious order Immaculate Heart of Mary at age 18, to championing civil rights, anti-war activism, and peace, through her unique aesthetic of printmaking. She left the order in 1968 and moved to Boston, where she continued to make work. Her art, and her life, was devoted to finding a deep understanding of the human experience, through teaching and creating. Corita left behind a great legacy that continues to reverberate - at the time of her death in 1986, Corita had created almost 800 serigraph editions and thousands of watercolours, alongside public and private commissions. From Boston to Los Angeles, Corita's life is a truly inspired story. The Unibrow's Radio Juxtapoz podcast is hosted by Juxtapoz editor, Evan Pricco. Episode 163 was recorded at the Corita Art Center in Los Angeles in late April 2025. Original music by Aesop Rock for Radio Juxtapoz

This month, the Academy Podcast features Molly Vetter's teaching from Academy #42 in 2023 on the topic, "Spirituality and Embodiment." In this episode, Molly Vetter reflects on the intersection of scripture, art, and spirituality, inviting listeners to see how sacred traditions and personal experiences converge in daily life. Join us for a thought-provoking discussion that invites us to see our faith embodied in everyday life, to find the sacred in art and community, and to live faithfully—even when it challenges institutional norms. Rev. Molly Vetter is passionate about many things: building community with unlikely and diverse people, making the church more boldly welcoming, and caring for the earth. Since 2019, she has served as Senior Pastor of Westwood United Methodist Church in Los Angeles, a congregation with a rich legacy of thoughtful engagement on social issues and incredible worship gatherings in which to connect to the grace and mystery of our God. Molly received her Masters of Divinity from Claremont School of Theology and studied Art History for undergrad at Boston University. In her personal and professional life, she loves planning events and trips, and enjoys experiencing them, too. She loves designing and making things, especially out of fabric or food or the internet. Outside of the local church, Molly has served in several leadership roles in the broader United Methodist Church and stays active in organizations that serve the local community. She volunteers with the Grain Place Foundation, a non-profit that will inherit and continue her family's organic farm in central Nebraska. Molly lives with her husband, Matthew Parker, and their son Jonah. Molly is an alum of Two-Year Academy #41 and will serve as Retreat Leader for upcoming Two-Year Academy #43.

photo of the artist by Frederick Aranda Joey Terrill is a formative figure in the Los Angeles Chicano art movement and AIDS cultural activism. Painting and making art since the 1970s, Terrill has always explored the intersection of Chicano and gay male identity (where they overlap and where they clash) as a strategy for much of his art production. A native Angeleno, he attended Immaculate Heart College and lists influences as diverse as Pop Art, Corita Kent, David Hockney, Mexican retablos, and 20th-century painters ranging from Romaine Brooks to Frida Kahlo. His work conveys the energy, politics and creative synergy of Chicano and queer art circles in Los Angeles. His works from the 1970s and 80s are considered pioneering examples of a queer sensibility and Latinx identity. He has been living with HIV sine 1980. His work was featured in Axis Mundo: Queer Networks in Chicano L.A. which opened at MOCA LA in 2015 and toured to venues in NY, Denver, Las Vegas , Houston, Massachusetts and Ohio with its final iteration at moCa Cleveland in 2021. Some selected exhibits he has been in include: Drama Queer, Queer Arts Festival, Vancouver, BC -2016. Forging Territories: Afro & Latinx Queer Contemporary Art, San Diego Art Institute -2019, LA Memo: Chicana/o Art from 1972 -1989, La Plaza de Cultura y Artes, Los Angeles -2022 . His work is in the collections of the MoMA, The Whitney, Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art, MOCA, The Hammer, SFMOMA and the George Lucas Museum of Narrative Art (opening 2025) "Mi Casta es Su Casta- Portrait of Rudy Garcia" 2018 Robert Resting After Work -1988-89 acrylic on canvas Orlando Waiting for Toast - 1999-2000 acrylic on canvas
Elana Mann has presented her work in museums, galleries, and public spaces in the U.S. and globally. She has received numerous awards, including an International Artist-In-Residence at Artpace San Antonio, the California Community Foundation Artist Fellowship, the Stone & DeGuire Contemporary Art Award, the COLA Individual Artist Fellowship, and she was the inaugural artist-in-residence at Pitzer College's ceramics department. Elana received her B.F.A. with honors from Washington University in St. Louis, and her M.F.A from California Institute of the Arts.Indeed, Elana has accomplished so much; one look at her website is testament to this. One can spend hours absorbing it — from her projects, writings, videos and poetry to her thoughts on social justice, and the power and agency we have as people. In exploring her site, my initial thought was that Mann could be an educator.Getting to her artwork, within most of it there's an element of sound. Yet, as a younger artist, Mann said this was confusing to her when she was in grad school. Then a connection revealed itself. It was her Jewish culture.

At age 18 she entered the religious order Immaculate Heart of Mary, eventually teaching in and then heading up the art department at Immaculate Heart College. Her work evolved from figurative and religious to incorporating advertising images and slogans, popular song lyrics, biblical verses, and literature. Throughout the ‘60s, her work became increasingly political, urging viewers to consider poverty, racism, and injustice. In 1968 she left the order and moved to Boston. After 1970, her work evolved into a sparser, introspective style, influenced by living in a new environment, a secular life, and her battles with cancer. She remained active in social causes until her death in 1986. At the time of her death, she had created almost 800 serigraph editions, thousands of watercolors, and innumerable public and private commissions.From https://www.corita.org/about/corita.

Radio Conectadas regresa a las ondas con uno de sus programas estrella: Viaje por la Historia. Pero lo hace con algunos cambios, como veremos. Este primer programa de la nueva etapa se centra en el 24 de mayo, cuando se celebra el Día internacional de las mujeres por la paz y el desarme. En la primera parte del tema central hablaremos sobre los riesgos a los que se enfrentan las mujeres en los conflictos, con declaraciones de Sonia Blanco Esquivias, responsable de la Organización de mujeres de la Confederación Intersindical. En la segunda parte repasamos algunos movimientos y referentes históricos de mujeres que han luchado y luchan por la paz y el desarme. Finalmente, en Viaje por los medios vemos cómo se ha abordado este tema en el cine. Por supuesto, Viaje por la Historia no sería lo mismo sin Qué interesante historia, esa sección en la que contamos algunas curiosidades históricas y que también puedes escuchar por separado. Este mes hablamos sobre la historia de Kathrine Switzer, los «resurreccionistas» y la invención de la tabla periódica. Y tras el tema principal llegan los cambios. Te presentamos Herederas, una sección conducida por Iván Ávila en la que cada mes conoceremos a diferentes mujeres del mundo de la música. En su estreno, Iván nos habla sobre la estrella del soul Bette Smith. También pasar a formar parte de Viaje por la Historia la sección Mujeres con historia, que antes se englobaba en Sin género de dudas. Este mes conocemos la vida y obra de Rigoberta Menchú, Ellen Craft y Elizabeth Kent (conocida como Corita Kent). Este es el nuevo formato de Viaje por la Historia y esperamos que lo disfrutes tanto o más que el anterior. Aquí puedes escuchar el programa completo. ¿Te vienes?

Louise Bourgeois pälskappa, Carl Johan de Geers målarrock och Corita Kents nunnedräkt. Veckans Stil handlar om kläder som konstnärer har burit och de många historier som plaggen kan berätta. Vi träffar konstnären Jacob Dahlgren som varje dag under de senaste 20 åren har burit en randig tröja och på så sätt förvandlar sig själv till ett levande konstverk. Vi pratar med den brittiska modejournalisten Charlie Porter som skrivit boken What Artists Wear, som undersöker vad vi kan lära oss om konstnärernas liv och verk om vi rotar runt i deras garderober. Vi träffar också Carl Johan De Geer, som gärna bär en vit målarrock när han framträder i rollen som konstnär. En målarrock signalerar en aktiv konstnär, tycker han. Och så berättar vi historien om Corita Kent, som på 1960-talet blev känd som popkonstnunnan.Veckans programledare är Erik Sjölin.

Sunday worship service - August and 22, 2021Sermon Series: Art + Faith -- Sister Mary Corita KentMessage by Pastor Bridie RobertsMusic by our worship leader Malynda Hale
Director Pedro Kos' beautifully rendered story, REBEL HEARTS, takes us back to the 1960s and a Los Angeles-based group of trailblazing nuns, The Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The Sisters bravely stood up to the patriarchy of the Catholic Church, fighting for equality, their livelihoods, and their own freedom against an all-powerful Cardinal who sought to keep them in their place. Their bold acts of faith, defiance and activism turned the Church upside down, helping to reshape our society in ways that continue to resonate today. From marching in Selma in 1965 to the Women's March in 2018, they challenged the notion of what a nun and a woman were supposed to be. These unlikely resistance fighters, including Anita Caspary, Helen Kelley, Pat Reif and iconic pop artist Corita Kent, were devoted to a life of service, not only to others but to themselves - forming a community that empowered each sister to live up to their fullest potential. Their desire to bring the church into modern life was met with forceful opposition at every turn. As each of them discovered their own talents and voices, they fully stepped into their roles as leaders in a movement that is still making waves. In the feature documentary REBEL HEARTS, director Pedro Kos combines incredible archival footage, stunning animation and two decades of interviews conducted and filmed by the film's producer Shawnee Isaac-Smith, to beautifully illuminate the story of these incredible women. Director Pedro Kos joins us for a conversation on the historic, political, cultural and spiritual significance these brave women had and continue to have on their own faith, but on the world beyond the walls of their community.

It’s nearly Easter. And I want to talk about someone today on the podcast who inspires me with her life and art and work. As you know, I have been revisiting my favorite spiritual classics … books written by authors who have fought the good fight and remained faithful to the end. There’s just so much we can learn from them. This week I’m introducing you to Corita Kent. Corita lived from 1918 to 1986. She was an artist, educator, and advocate for social justice. At 18 years old, she entered the religious order Immaculate Heart of Mary, eventually teaching in and then heading up the art department at Immaculate Heart College. She created hundreds of beautiful serigraphs because she wanted her art to be affordable and widely available. She didn’t number any of her works because she didn’t want any one print to be more valuable than the others. I have been collecting her work via collaborations with author Leslie Brandt. These are charming books with Corita’s art AND Brandt’s paraphrase of sections of the Bible. My hope is that we stop running from God and follow after Him. I pray you remember that God loves you and is just waiting for you to trust Him … and I pray that you do. SHOW NOTES Get a copy of Jesus Now by Leslie Brandt & Corita Kent.

Today, I begin with a quote from one of my favorites, Corita Kent. She was an artist, a nun, educator and social justice advocate. As artists, we work every day. We make our own lives every day. We care for our family every day. It is hard daily work, this creative process. These words are part of a larger piece in the book Learning by Heart by Corita Kent and Jan Steward. And what I love about this book is that it's not so much a book for just the professional artists but for the student. I truly believe that we are all students of life. And in this particular section of the book, she's talking about the artist inside of each of us. I think that oftentimes we think about the work that we need to get back to. What she talks about in this section is how the work that we do every day is actually the larger art. It's the work when we go to our canvas, or our desk, or whatever it is that we consider work. Yes, that's a part of the work, but the real, the rich, the larger work - the larger art - happens in daily life. I share this today for the overworked. For the one who doesn't feel like you have enough time to get back to the work that you want to be doing. Instead you find your schedule filled to the brim of all of the things that you have to do - where obligation outweighs inspiration. I share this with you today as a reminder that when you are out doing the most mundane tasks, doing the most ordinary things, this matters too. This too is creativity. There will come a time when you get back to the work that you wish you could be doing right now. But in the meantime, you have right now to allow life to teach you what it wants to teach you. Even if those lessons don't come instantaneously, right there in the moment, trust that everything that you are experiencing - from the food that you're tasting today, to the conversations that you overhear - all of this is a part of you being here, you being present to your life right here, right now. For whoever needs to hear it right now: today is not the day to put more on your plate. Today is not the day to feel ashamed for all you did not accomplish. Even as I record this, I can hear the sound of my son's toy in the next room. And I had a brief moment where I thought, hmm, I guess this podcast is not going to be what I want it to be today. Because after I record, I have other things to do. So as of right now, I'm going to let that sound stay in the episode, even if no one can hear it but me. Even if it bothers me. I'm going to let today be what it needs to be. I am going to allow moments of laughter and creativity to find me in unexpected places. Join me as I work to be excited about joining in on the larger art. Join me as I work to be filled with joy at the possibility that this day, right here, right now, matters more than I can see today. And if I don't have time to do all of the things that I want to do, that is okay. I am growing anyway. I am a part of the greater picture, all the same.

This episode we have a fantastic conversation with the talented artist Camilo Godoy. Camilo is an artist whose practice is concerned with the construction of political meanings and histories. His work engages with conceptual, photographic, and choreographic strategies to analyze and challenge past and present historical moments to imagine different subversive ways of being. Godoy was born in Bogotá, Colombia and is currently based in New York, United States. He is a graduate of The New School with a BFA from Parsons School of Design, 2012; and a BA from Eugene Lang College of Liberal Arts, 2013. Godoy was a 2018 Session Artist, Recess; 2018 Artist-in-Residence, Leslie-Lohman Museum; 2018 Artist-in-Residence, coleção moraes-barbosa; 2017 Artist-in-Residence, International Studio & Curatorial Program (ISCP); 2015-2017 Artist-in-Residence, Movement Research; among others. He has presented his work in New York at the Brooklyn Museum, CUE, Danspace Project; Mousonturm, Frankfurt; and Toronto Biennial, Toronto; among others. In his teaching practice he uses inquiry-based, multimodal learning strategies and movement-based techniques to support intellectual and creative curiosity. Godoy has taught various age groups at the Brooklyn Museum, Dedalus Foundation, Leslie-Lohman Museum and Whitney Museum. His teaching philosophy is influenced by the writings of educational theorists, such as John Dewey, Paulo Freire, bell hooks and Corita Kent, who center democracy, love and joy as essential elements for teaching and learning.

Today’s episode is all about the lessons I have learned from my dogs and the dogs that I’ve loved. Many people have beautiful, close relationships with their animals, and if you are one of these people and have spent time observing and interacting with them, you will know that they are wonderful creatures with a lot of wisdom that we are not necessarily privy to. I am sure that the lessons I share today are not unique to me and many of you will be able to relate to my experiences. Among other things, my dogs have taught me to play more, to be curious about the world around me, and to make time for napping! When you pay attention, your dogs will show you a different side to life and connect you at a deeper level to the natural world. This episode is a must-listen for all dog lovers as I will be sharing some profound (and at times quirky) things that we can all learn from them. Key Points From This Episode:• Hear about the dogs that I have loved and cared for over the years. • Kuna teaches me to play exuberantly and be joyful. • Dogs show us that it is better to listen more and “speak” less. • Our canine friends are great at being quiet and exploring the world around them. • The importance of listening to people’s hearts and responding with empathy and love. • Maddy taught me to be curious about everything and approach the world with wonder. • We still have a great deal to discover in and about the world—make learning a priority. • The medical evidence suggesting that naps have several health benefits. • Guidelines for getting the most from your afternoon snooze. • From dogs, we can learn to revel in the good stuff and extend joy to other people. • We need to know when it is time to metaphorically run and do what needs to be done to make a change in the world. • Dogs have surprising wisdom and insight—a lot of which people know little about. Key Messages: 1. Play exuberantly and enjoy life. 2. Listen more than you speak. 3. Be curious. 4. Nap every day. 5. Revel in the good stuff. 6. Run when it is time to run. 7. Meander when it is time to meander. 8. There is wisdom in nature. Quotables:“Can we play more exuberantly? Can we just go for a run or play our sports or even a board game just for the joy of it? Without expectation, without hoping for an outcome or tracking our steps?” — Kristina Hunter [0:04:10]“Bliss is the result of a silent conversation between me and my dog.” — Anonymous [0:04:55] “Life is a succession of moments, to live each one is to succeed.” — Corita Kent [0:12:40] “There is real wisdom in nature, in the natural world, and in our dogs and I feel that we are so lucky to glimpse at it and to learn from them.” — Kristina Hunter [0:19:51] “All his life, he tried to be a good person. Many times, however, he failed. After all, he was only human. He wasn’t a dog.” — Charles M Schulz [0:23:39] Links Mentioned in Today’s Episode:Kristina Hunter Flourishing Mayo Clinic (Napping Guidelines)Harvard Health (Benefits of Napping)The Unexpected Gift Box
Christine Valters Paintner is the online abbess for Abbey of the Arts, a virtual monastery offering programs and resources on contemplative practice and creative expression. She is the author of thirteen books on monasticism and creativity, including her most recent Earth, Our Original Monastery and her second collection of poems forthcoming this fall, The Wisdom of Wild Grace. This is part one of a two part episode. To listen to part two, click here. Earth is the place where we learn our most fundamental prayers, hear the call of the wild arising at dawn to awaken us to a new day, participate in the primal liturgy of praise unfolding all around us, and experience the wisdom and guidance of the seasons. — Christine Valters Paintner, Earth: Our Original Monastery She leads writing retreats and pilgrimages in Ireland, Scotland, Austria, and Germany and online retreats at her website AbbeyoftheArts.com, living out her commitment as a Benedictine Oblate in Galway, Ireland, with her husband, John. Christine returns to Encountering Silence (click here to listen to her previous interview with us, from 2018) bringing her warm, wise and inclusive spirituality which encompasses deep contemplation with an inspiring commitment to creative expression. Everything in creation becomes a catalyst for my deepened self-understanding. The forest asks me to embrace my truth once again. The hummingbird invites me to sip holy nectar, the egret to stretch out my wings, the sparrows to remember my flock. Each pine cone contains an epiphany; each smooth stone offers a revelation. I watch and witness as the sun slowly makes her long arc across the sky and discover my own rising and falling. The moon will sing of quiet miracles, like those which reveal and conceal the world every day right before our eyes. — Christine Valters Paintner, Earth: Our Original Monastery Some of the Resources and Authors We Mention In This Episode: Christine Valters Paintner, Earth, Our Original Monastery: Cultivating Wonder and Gratitude through Intimacy with Nature Christine Valters Paintner, The Wisdom of Wild Grace: Poems Christine Valters Paintner, The Artist’s Rule: Nurturing Your Creative Soul with Monastic Wisdom; Christine Valters Paintner, The Eyes of the Heart: Photography as a Christian Contemplative Practice; Christine Valters Paintner, The Wisdom of the Body: A Contemplative Journey to Wholeness for Women; Christine Valters Paintner, The Soul’s Slow Ripening: 12 Celtic Practices for Seeking the Sacred.

This week, Kristina and Elizabeth chat about the lives and work of Clara Schumann and Corita Kent. Listen for stories that illuminate the connections between how we love, and how we make art.
Director of Los Angeles’s Corita Art Center, Nellie Scott, tells us more about the ethos of artist, educator and designer Corita Kent, who worked in LA and Boston and was an influential figure in the pop art movement.
On November 20th, 2019, the City of Los Angeles will celebrate Corita Day in honor of the most acclaimed artist you've never heard of: Sister Mary Corita / Corita Kent. Corita spent the first part of her life at LA's Immaculate Heart Community, educating students and celebrities alike with spectacular silkscreen and pop art. Eames and Hitchcock and Fuller and Cage were all her contemporaries and she designed one of the top selling US Postage Stamps of all time, yet for some reason, she's not as well known as she should be. This program aims to change that. Please listen, as it's an amazing story. Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022. Visit acast.com/privacy for more information.

Today's guest, Irene O'Garden, has won or been nominated for prizes in nearly every writing category from stage to e-screen, hardcovers, children's books as well as literary magazines and anthologies. O'Garden's critically acclaimed play, Women On Fire, starring Judith Ivey, was twice extended and played to sold-out houses Off-Broadway at the Cherry Lane Theatre. It was nominated for a Lucille Lortel Award for Best Solo Show and is published by Samuel French. Two of its monologues are published in Best Women's Stage Monologues. Her new play, Little Heart, about artist Corita Kent, won her a Berilla Kerr Playwriting Fellowship and was awarded full development at the New Harmony Play Project. In this episode, Irene and I embrace the paradise of a writer's mind. Although writing is a solitary process; the impulse is communicating with others. Irene shares many tips for those of us who are newer writers on the path + committing ourselves more deeply to our writing practice. Especially ways in which to write in the landscape of a busy life. Later, we immerse ourselves in Irene's book Risking the Rapids + how she wrote about her family members. Irene then weighs in on victimhood, taking inspiration from others, and the inquiring consciousness. In This Episode: Today's guest, Irene O'Garden [ 6:25 ] Writing is a safe place of healing expression [ 9:15 ] Spontaneity creates order [ 11:20 ] Navigating the fullness of life + finding the time to write [ 17:20 ] Risking the Rapids [ 27:45 ] Write what you must write + decide the destination [ 30:40 ] Victimhood is an unpractical way to live [ 38:55 ] Should we read another person's work while trying to write our own?

It is actually within us where that universal energy, love, power, and healing takes place.” “Noticing within myself something is knocking on my heart; it wants to be written down.” “If you can train yourself to relax in any situation, you can feel what is going on inside of yourself in a very loving way.” “There is nothing that affects us more than the family that we were brought up in.” “What we want to do is enlarge our vision, scope, and heart to include what is going on behind the behaviors of the people we love.” “Begin playing a little bit more with the energies in life.” Links Mentioned: Learn more about Jennifer Reis Yoga here Psychic Politics by Jane Roberts A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle Agnes of God by John Pielmeier Purchase your ticket to the Ignite Your Soul Summit!

About ten years ago, I came up with some rules for myself as a reminder for me to get in the studio and make art. Now, these are not completely original and I borrowed heavily from the likes of nun and artist Corita Kent and writer Patti Digh, but I put my on slant on them and adapted ten basic principles to help guide me.They're not hard, fast rules that cannot be broken, but they are reminders of the things that I need to do in order to keep myself creating and making, and when I feel disconnected from my art, I turn to these rules to help give me a kick in the pants.In this episode, I share the rules and try to give a little insight into each of them through general discussion and personal anecdotes.

SAY WHAT YOU WANT : Power Up, Corita Kent, 1965 by Design Museum
Sister Mary Corita, IHM (1918-1986), was a beloved artist and teacher whose role as the rebel nun continues to inspire contemporary audiences. Corita joined the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in 1936 when she was just eighteen years old, and soon after became an initially reluctant Art teacher at Immaculate Heart College. Corita remained part of the community on Franklin and Western Avenues in Hollywood until 1968 when Los Angeles archbishop Cardinal James Francis McIntyre, and other conservatives, targeted the orders reformist ways. Corita's Pop Art styled prints celebrating the presence of God in the most ordinary of everyday subjects (Mary is the juiciest tomato of all) drew the ire of McIntyre in particular. At age fifty, she took one of many unconventional steps and left the order to start life anew as an independent woman. In Corita Kent: Art and Soul: The Biography (Angel City Press, 2015), April Dammann traces Corita's path as an artist and religious woman who participated in the heady scene of the Los Angeles art world in the 1960s while engaging her own devout spirituality at the same time. Coritas journey into printmaking took her beyond the confines of the college to the world of the most famous artists and designers in Los Angeles including Charles Eames, John Cage, Edward Kienholz, and Tony Duquette. She interacted with Henry Miller, Anais Nin, and other members of Los Angeles literary avant-garde. Clad in her nuns habit, Corita was more than a picturesque observer of the scene, however. Her highly refined silkscreens combining word and image with meticulously placed colors transformed the medium. She culled subject matter from the ideas of thinkers and social commentators ranging from Goethe to Isaiah, to John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and radical priest and soul mate Daniel Berrigen. Corita's students, many of whose voices color Dammann's carefully researched book, were beneficiaries of Corita's aesthetic and intellectual explorations. As we reconsider the life of Corita Kent, we are confronted, in the quiet yet powerful manner of the artist herself, with a woman whose contributions to the radical forms of the 1960s are immense. Kirstin L. Ellsworth has a Ph.D. in the History of Art from Indiana University (2005) and currently, is an Assistant Professor of Art History at California State University Dominguez Hill.

Corita joined the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in 1936 when she was just eighteen years old, and soon after became an initially reluctant Art teacher at Immaculate Heart College. Corita remained part of the community on Franklin and Western Avenues in Hollywood until 1968 when Los Angeles archbishop Cardinal James Francis McIntyre, and other conservatives, targeted the orders reformist ways. Corita’s Pop Art styled prints celebrating the presence of God in the most ordinary of everyday subjects (Mary is the juiciest tomato of all) drew the ire of McIntyre in particular. At age fifty, she took one of many unconventional steps and left the order to start life anew as an independent woman. In Corita Kent: Art and Soul: The Biography (Angel City Press, 2015), April Dammann traces Corita’s path as an artist and religious woman who participated in the heady scene of the Los Angeles art world in the 1960s while engaging her own devout spirituality at the same time. Coritas journey into printmaking took her beyond the confines of the college to the world of the most famous artists and designers in Los Angeles including Charles Eames, John Cage, Edward Kienholz, and Tony Duquette. She interacted with Henry Miller, Anais Nin, and other members of Los Angeles literary avant-garde. Clad in her nuns habit, Corita was more than a picturesque observer of the scene, however. Her highly refined silkscreens combining word and image with meticulously placed colors transformed the medium. She culled subject matter from the ideas of thinkers and social commentators ranging from Goethe to Isaiah, to John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and radical priest and soul mate Daniel Berrigen. Corita’s students, many of whose voices color Dammann’s carefully researched book, were beneficiaries of Corita’s aesthetic and intellectual explorations. As we reconsider the life of Corita Kent, we are confronted, in the quiet yet powerful manner of the artist herself, with a woman whose contributions to the radical forms of the 1960s are immense. Kirstin L. Ellsworth has a Ph.D. in the History of Art from Indiana University (2005) and currently, is an Assistant Professor of Art History at California State University Dominguez Hill.

This month The Poster Boys look at the life and art of Corita Kent. A nun and teacher at Immaculate Heart College, and beginning in 1964 the chair of its art department, her silkscreens combined religious language with that of American advertising culture and the spirit of 60's modern art. As a teacher, her philosophy and class exercises brought a radical and fresh perspective not just to the spiritual ideas of the church but to the artistic and creative process overall. Brandon and Sam reflect on her teachings and work, then open the Flat File for a look at the posters for Richard Lester's feature-length Beatles film A Hard Day's Night.
