Corita Kent Quotes
A painting is a symbol for the universe. Inside it, each piece relates to the other. Each piece is only answerable to the rest of that little world. So, probably in the total universe, there is that kind of total harmony, but we get only little tastes of it.

Corita Kent was born in Fort Dodge, Iowa. She was an American graphic Designer and an educator who worked in Los Angeles and Boston. She worked almost exclusively with silkscreen, or serigraphy, helping to establish it as a fine art medium. Her artwork, with its messages of love and peace, was particularly popular during the social upheavals of the 1960s and 1970s. Kent designed the 1985 United States Postal Service's annual "love" stamp. She earned her BA from Immaculate Heart College in 1941. She earned her MA at the University of Southern California in Art History in 1951. Kent created several hundred serigraph designs for posters, book covers, and murals. Her work includes the 1985 Love Stamp and Rainbow Swash, the 150-foot-high natural gas tank in the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston.
