Sister Mary Corita Kent: Speak Out

Sister Mary Corita Kent: Speak Out - On exhibition at Davidson Galleries from November 5 - December 24. Bold mid-century silkscreens from activist Sister Mary Corita Kent. Kent is known for her vibrant serigraphs that combined spiritual, pop cultural, and political themes. Her work reflected her concerns about poverty, racism, and war alongside imagery from advertisements and consumer culture at large. She made work directly in response to the Vietnam War, Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination, and other events of the time. Kent’s work is in the collections of many major institutions; most is held by the Corita Art Center in Los Angeles and the Hammer Museum (UCLA). She is recognized as a key figure in the Pop Art movement and art activism.
