'The Power of Corita' at Claremont

San Gabriel Region
text only version

The work of celebrated artist Corita Kent will be on display at the Claremont School of Theology including pieces from her Circus and International Signal Code themes, and pop art using brand name labels, political motifs and quotes from literary and religious sources.

On exhibition through May 15, "The Power of Corita" will be featured on three floors of the school's campus library and chapel. Kent's entire "Moments" series will be presented as well as her Beatitudes banner that was displayed at the 1964 World's Fair in New York City.

Kent, also known as Sister Corita, gained international fame for her vibrant serigraphs during the 1960s and 1970s. A Sister of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, she was part of the Art Department at Immaculate Heart College in Los Angeles until 1968 when she left the order and moved to Boston. Her art reflects both internal spirituality and a commitment to social justice.

The Claremont School of Theology is located at 1325 N. College Ave., Claremont. For more information, call (909) 447-2593 or visit www.cst.edu.
