"Sister Corita Kent. B.1918, was an artist and educator who taught for over thirty years at the Immaculate Heart College in Los Angeles. One of the most unusual and innovative pop artists of the 1960s, revolutionizing graphic design and encouraging the creativity of thousands of people, all while living and practicing as a Catholic nun. She worked almost exclusively with silkscreening, helping to establish it as a fine art medium. Her artwork, with its vibrant, joyful messages of love and peace, was particularly popular during the social upheavals of the 1960s and 1970s. This book published by Four Corners in 2006 mainly covers the period of time when she was head of art at the college between 1964 and 1968, before leaving to devote her life to making art in Boston from 1968 until her death in 1986".
