Inspired Images
A Corita Retrospective
This retrospective exhibit is presented in collaboration with Inspired Images, a non-profit foundation created to share Corita's vision with new generations, and with the co-operation of the Corita Art Center.   The exhibit will feature 40+ original prints and paintings from the collection of Rev. Bill Comeau, founder of Inspired Images, who collaborated with Corita Kent in the late '60s.
The two remained friends until Corita's death in 1986.

Sister Corita Kent became one of America's most popular graphic artists in the 1960s and '70s. Her career as a printmaker began in the 1950s while she was a teaching nun in Los Angeles. Her work was "pop" in style, and espoused universal themes of love, hope, and peace. In the early '60s, Corita's work took on a more decidedly more political tenor, reflecting her interest in and support
for humanist causes including civil rights, feminism, and anti-war activism.
