Publisher's Synopsis
Sister Corita Kent - or 'the rebel Nun,' as she is better known - came to fame in tumultuous 1960s L.A. She wasn't known for speaking her mind, but she was certainly known for showing it, producing endless silkscreens about love, joy and peace. She designed the U.S postal service's infamous 1985 'Love' stamp, taken to be an emblem of gay rights. Kent became the prototype for every outspoken Nun since - here her impact is finally honoured and preserved in detail with a collection of 200 of her images and an extensive biography written by April Dammann.
