How a Screenprinting Nun Changed the Course of Modern Art | Gender and art | Scoop.it

During the 1960s, a woman named Corita Kent transformed a tiny art department in a Hollywood Catholic school into a global center for design and printmaking. She was buddies with Buckminister Fuller and counted IBM as a client. Oh yeah, and she was a nun!

The new book Someday is Now: The Art of Sister Corita (DelMonico Books/Prestel/Tang Museum) is the first full-size monograph of the highly influential artist and activist, featuring images from her studio as well as reproductions of her vibrant, almost neon posters and serigraphs.
