- Corita Kent (November 20, 1918 – September 18, 1986), born Frances Elizabeth Kent and also known as Sister Mary Corita Kent, was an American artist, designer and educator, and former religious sister. Key themes in her work included Christianity, and social justice. She was also a teacher at the Immaculate Heart College. Corita was born Frances Elizabeth Kent on November 20 in the year of 1918. At 18 years of age Kent entered the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart, which were known to be very progressive and welcomed creativity. Frances joined a teaching order, taking the name Sister Mary Corita. Initially she taught young children on an Inuit Reservation in British Columbia until returning to Los Angeles to study for her bachelor's degree at Immaculate Heart College and her master's degree at University of Southern California. She was the head of the art department at Immaculate Heart College. where she also taught a wide variety of different painting styles. Her artwork contained her own spiritual expression and love for her God. Kent's primary medium was silk screen, also known as Serigraphy. She became self-taught after she sent away for a DIY silk screening kit. Her innovative methods pushed back the limitations of two-dimensional media of the times. Kent's emphasis on printing was partially due to her wish for democratic outreach, as she wished for affordable art for the masses. Her artwork, with its messages of love and peace, was particularly popular during the social upheavals of the 1960s and 1970s. Due to opposition from Cardinal James McIntyre (who had a particular dislike for Kent), the sisters would eventually be forced out of their schools in Los Angeles—with the exception of the college—and most of the sisters left the order entirely, while keeping the larger school. Kent, however, would move to the East Coast and begin to work independently. After a cancer diagnosis in the early 1970s, she entered an extremely prolific period in her career, including the Rainbow Swash design on the LNG storage tank in Boston, and the 1985 version of the United States Postal Service's special Love stamp. In recent years, Corita has gained increased recognition for her role in the pop art movement. Critics and theorists previously failed to count her work as part of any mainstream "canon," but in the last few years there has been a resurgence of attention given to Kent. As both a nun and a woman making art in the twentieth century, she was in many ways cast to the margins of the different movements she was a part of. Corita's art was her activism, and her spiritually-informed social commentary promoted love and tolerance. (en)

- Corita Kent (Fort Dodge, Iowa, 20 novembre 1918 – 18 septembre 1986), mieux connue sous le nom de sœur Mary Corita Kent, née Frances Elizabeth Kent, est une religieuse catholique américaine, artiste et pédagogue. Elle travaillait à Los Angeles et Boston. Sa technique de prédilection était la sérigraphie, qu'elle a contribué à faire reconnaître comme medium artistique à part entière. Son œuvre, avec ses messages d'amour et de paix, a rencontré un succès particulier dans le cadre des mouvements de la contre-culture des années 1960 et 1970. Au début des années 1970, après avoir appris qu'elle souffrait d'un cancer, elle est entrée dans une période de production extrêmement prolifique, lors de laquelle elle a notamment créé le Rainbow Swash, une peinture représentant un arc-en-ciel qui recouvre une citerne de stockage de gaz liquide à Boston, ainsi que la version de 1985 du timbre Love du United States Postal Service.

- Syster Mary Corita Kent (född Frances Elizabeth Kent), 20 november 1918, död 8 september 1986, var en amerikansk konstnär, lärare, filosof, politisk aktivist och kanske en av de mest innovativa och osedvanliga popkonstnärerna under 1960-talet. Hon levde som nunna i den katolska kyrkan fram till 1968 då hon sökte dispens från sina kyrkliga löften. I över 30 år hade hon från sitt kristna samfund i Los Angeles producerat mängder av och vilket bland annat hjälpt till att etablera mediet som en erkänd konstform. Som popkonstnär var Corita främst inriktad på text och starka, levande färger. Många av hennes tryck innehöll förvrängda typsnitt och manipulerade reklambilder ifrån den kommersialism som började spira under 60-talet. Efter att ha lämnat kyrkan i slutet av 60-talet flyttade Corita till Boston och tog en stor stilistisk vändning. Hon övergav då all neonindränkt psykedelika som varit typisk för hennes tidigare verk och valde istället ett mer subtilt och nyanserat förhållningssätt till sin konst. Corita arbetade som lärare och ordförande för konstdepartementet på Los Angeles . Där blev hon känd för sina nya pedagogiska metoder; hennes elever hjälpte till att producera hennes silkscreentryck och hon uppmuntrade dem att både studera och arbeta hårt vilket hon trodde skulle ge en bestående inverkan på hur de mötte världen. Med berömmelsen kom också möjligheten att bjuda in och föra samtal med samtida konstnärer och designers, några av skolans föreläsare kom att bli designerna Charles och Ray Eames, kompositören John Cage, den grafiske formgivaren Saul Bass och filmregissören Alfred Hitchcock. Corita Kent dog 1986 av cancer. (sv)

Seu trabalho era quase que exclusivamente com silkscreen, ou serigrafia, repelindo as limitações do meio bidimensional pelo desenvolvimento de métodos inovadores. Corita reiterava a prática da impressão para democratizar o acesso à sua arte, que ela desejava ser acessível para a população. Sua arte com mensagens de amor e de paz foram particularmente populares durante a contracultura dos anos 1960 e começo dos anos 1970. A arte de Corita era seu ativismo, e através de seu trabalho social e espiritual, promovia amor e tolerância. (pt)
