Come Alive

Discover the vibrant world of Corita Kent in "Come Alive," a captivating book by Julie Ault, published in 2006. This 128-page exploration delves into the life and artistic journey of Kent, who, at just 18, joined the Roman Catholic order of Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in Los Angeles. There, she not only taught art but also led the art department, shaping the creative minds around her.

After dedicating over three decades to her religious order, Kent made the bold decision to leave and fully embrace her artistic passion. Throughout her remarkable 35-year career, she produced an impressive array of works, including watercolors, posters, books, banners, and her signature serigraphs. Kent's dynamic style masterfully blends techniques from advertising, consumerism, and graffiti, making her art both accessible and thought-provoking.
