Corita Kent was one of America’s most celebrated serigraph artists, creating works that won her international acclaim from the 1950s until her death in 1986. As art professor at Immaculate Heart College in Los Angeles, her hallmark mixture of captivating images and provocative texts delivered messages of hope and joy to a troubled world.
Passion For The Possible is a retrospective exhibition of Corita’s works from the 1950’s to the 1980’s. It will be presented in a visually stunning installation comprised of original serigraphs, sculpture, photography, wall murals and ephemera related to her life and career.
A series of creative workshops based on Corita’s teachings will be held on selected Saturdays for the duration of the exhibit.
This exhibition is guest curated by Aaron Rose (Beautiful Losers) and is co-organized by the Corita Art Center in Los Angeles (www.corita.org), home of the largest collection of Corita’s serigraphs in the world.
