Mary Corita

THIS WEEK on the GWA Podcast, to end this season, we interview Nellie Scott, Director of the Corita Art Center in California, on SISTER MARY CORITA!Sister Mary Corita Kent is the legendary Los Angeles icon, pop artist, activist, nun, and educator, known for her prints and posters filled with luminous block colours and text that reflected her concerns about poverty, racism, and war, and which are filled with messages of peace and social justice.Born in 1918 to a working class Catholic family in Iowa, when the Corita was five she moved with her family to Hollywood. In 1936, aged 18, Corita graduated from the Los Angeles Catholic Girls’ High School and entered the religious order of the Immaculate Heart of Mary where she took the name Sister Mary Corita (where she went on to head up the art dept!) Corita's work ranges from figurative and religious to incorporating advertising images and slogans, popular song lyrics and passages from the Bible. In the ‘60s, her work became increasingly political, urging viewers to consider poverty, racism, and injustice. She was a groundbreaker and considered by many to be at the front of the Pop Art movement ~ whilst also teaching (and being a nun!) full time. Reappropriating symbols for a spiritual message, such as Aeroplanes for guardian angels; Wonder Bread as the eucharist; Corita's art gained attention for its ability to find joy in the everyday. She infused pop elements into her work, and throughout the ‘60s, her work became increasingly political, urging viewers to consider the social injustices of the time. --LINKS: Ten Rules Audio Project with Dublab Radio here: https://www.corita.org/tenrulesTen Rules Chronicle Book (April 2023) here: https://www.chroniclebooks.com/products/new-rules-next-weekBaylis Glascock film here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hRjih1uLmampB8DI2s2n4Nup7i3Pmacc/viewThomas Conrad film here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vBcaCDRMLRAINXBYVDP3TyJmt2IL5fOD/viewRebel hearts doc on IHC here: https://www.rebelheartsfilm.com/ENJOY!Follow us:Katy Hessel: @thegreatwomenartists / @katy.hesselResearch assistant: Viva RuggiSound editing by Nada SmiljanicArtwork by @thisisaliceskinnerMusic by Ben Wetherfieldhttps://www.thegreatwomenartists.com/--THIS EPISODE IS GENEROUSLY SUPPORTED BY CHRISTIES: www.christies.com

Nellie Scott on Sister Mary Corita

I'm very excited to have Nellie Scott, Director of Corita Art Center in LA as my guest for this episode! My very first introduction to Corita's art was in December 2019 when I was working on a project based on my series of influential women for a local charity auction. Corita's story, dedication to art and art education, and freedom of her spirit blew my mind! She spent most of her creative years as a Catholic religious sister of the order of Immaculate Heart of Mary in Los Angeles, CA. A woman artist (in the 1960s mind you!), an educator, an activist, and a leader - she embodied everything we praise today but unfortunately was almost forgotten by the art community in the last 3 decades. This is why Nellie Scott, an art historian, and Director of Corita Art Center is so passionate about saving Corita's legacy and introducing it to as many people out there as possible!

Corita Art Center - with Nellie Scott

Corita Kent

On November 20th, 2019, the City of Los Angeles will celebrate Corita Day in honor of the most acclaimed artist you've never heard of: Sister Mary Corita / Corita Kent. Corita spent the first part of her life at LA's Immaculate Heart Community, educating students and celebrities alike with spectacular silkscreen and pop art. Eames and Hitchcock and Fuller and Cage were all her contemporaries and she designed one of the top selling US Postage Stamps of all time, yet for some reason, she's not as well known as she should be. This program aims to change that. Please listen, as it's an amazing story. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
