		CORITA KENT By John Keleher 12/14/00 American Pop Art was born of the newly found self-confidence with which American art had asserted itself.
		And this seems to be exactly what Sister Corita intended when she began chopping up slogans, reversing well-known logos, stacking phrases, changing mottos, and constantly contrasting crisp-edged fonts with sloppy handwriting.
		“What’s remarkable about Corita,” Michael Duncan exclaims, “is that she took the signage of everyday life and used it to express her own form of liberal spirituality.” It was this sense of "liberal spirituality" with an interesting sense of humor incorporated that propelled Sister Corita into prominence as a Pop Art icon.

	[No title]
		Soon after, an exhausted Sister Corita parted ways with the convent, the Catholic Church and Los Angeles, settling in Boston and on a less confrontational mode of artmaking until her death from cancer in 1986.
		Duncan's version of Sister Corita's oeuvre is presented in a chronological line, with the bulk of the prints hung one after another as distinct entities, at eye level, with occasional clusters of Corita's source photographs and curatorial text panels to break the rhythm.
		Sister Corita's work is splendid, and suffused with a sense of integration, of a competent graphic artist pushed to unlikely heights by the tides of history and finding unsuspected reserves of genius and compassion with which to respond.

		This exhibition features the work of Sister Corita Kent (1918-1986), an unlikely but influential pop artist who made big-hearted prints from advertising slogans – all in service to her faith in God and her social conscience.
		Although Kent left her order in 1968, the flamboyant style of her prints spread rapidly through liberal Catholic churches and its effects can still be seen today.
		Like other pop artists, Kent found ambiguity lurking in the language of advertising but she sifted out a completely different message.

	The Big G Stands for Goodness
		A teacher at Immaculate Heart College in Los Angeles, and a civil rights, feminist and anti-war activist, Corita (she resigned from her religious order in 1968) was one of the most popular American graphic artists of the 1960s and 1970s, making hundreds of prints espousing her humanist causes.
		Corita mixed swatches of bright, saturated color with fragments of graphics appropriated from commercial supermarket items.
		With a deadpan literalism and an ear for language rivaling that of her contemporary Angelino, Ed Ruscha, Corita confirms her upbeat theology in well-known advertising phraseology of her time in prints which include passage such as The big G stands for goodness ~General Mills) and Put a tiger in your tank (Esso gasoline).

		Kent, an activist and teacher, made hot, earnest works.
		Appropriating Madison Avenue slogans ("put a tiger in your tank"), she made humanistic, Christian word art that exposed the promises of the advertisers for what they were -- airy as white bread.
		And, as the companion show of 17 West coast artists who also make text-based art points up, Kent's work is kin to the word art of Ed Ruscha and Robert Heinecken, and may well be an influence on a few West coast artists working today, notably Raymond Pettibon.
