Guided Tour

Sister Corita: The Joyous Revolutionary

The exhibition is comprised of 44 prints that illustrate Sister Corita's signature work beginning in the 1960s, which broke free from the more traditionally religious or Biblical imagery to works that encompassed a wider concept of spirituality. Inspired by media and advertising, she began her evocative use, reuse, and re-contextualization of everyday phrases and images to create art that addressed contemporary issues ranging from poverty, materiality, and environmental degradation to inequality, social injustice, and war. Sister Corita: The Joyous Revolutionary explores the artist's work chronologically and thematically, from her early religious pieces and Abstract Expressionist-inspired works of the late 1950s to the popular “Love” stamp created for the United States Postal Service.
