"By the Street of By-and-By One Arrives at the House of Never", serigraph on paper, signed Corita lower right. The thought is from Miguel de Cervantes. The interpretation is by Corita Kent of Immaculate Heart College.Mary Corita Kent was born in Fort Dodge, Iowa, then moved with her family to Vancouver, Canada, and later to Los Angeles, where she grew up. She joined the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary there in 1938. She received her master's in art history from the University of Southern California in 1951.Popularly known as "Sister Mary Corita," she turned to the silk-screen process in 1950. Her large compositions combine quotations, often from the Bible or modern poetry, with religious or secular images. During her career as an artist and teacher, Kent also designed greeting cards and book covers. She achieved fame in the early 1960s with her brightly colored silkscreen posters. Some of her work includes excerpts from the writings of Carl Jung, e.e. cummings and Rainer Maria Rilke. She began adding words to her designs because, she said, "I have been nuts about words and their shape since I was very young."Overall Size: 22 x 15 in.Sight Size: 15 x 11 in.
