SISTER CORITA KENT (1918-1986) “I Love You Very” Silkscreen
Original silkscreen by American artist, designer, and educator Sister Corita Kent (1918-1986) depicts large brushstrokes of blue and green paired with red script lettering that reads, “I love you very”, a small heart punctuating the left of the image. Known as the “Pop Art nun”, Sister Kent was self-taught after purchasing a DIY silk screening kit by mail and made work that often revolved around themes of Christianity and social justice. While Sister Kent’s work went unaccounted for in the mainstream canon of art history, she has since seen a resurgence in popularity and has been re-evaluated as an important figure in the Pop Art movement. This original silkscreen is framed in blue and signed by Sister Kent in the lower center of the paper.

About the Artist:
LeRoy Neiman (1921-2012) was an American artist who used bright colors with expressionist style to create iconic images, primarily of musicians, athletes, and sporting events. Neiman studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago after serving in World War II. He then worked as a part of the Art Institute staff for ten years. While working as a freelance fashion illustrator, he met Hugh Hefner and became a frequent contributor to Playboy Magazine. He traveled the world and cataloged his journeys with paintings of leisurely life, athletic competitions, and social activities. Jazz, casinos, and nightlife along with historical athletic happenings such as the Olympics, the World Series, the Super Bowl, and the Kentucky Derby were all at Neiman’s fingertips. He was very commercially successful, and became an exceedingly generous philanthropist, giving back to communities and interests that he participated in himself.

In 1932, he became dean at the Columbus College of Art and Design and later taught at Ohio State University and served as president of the Columbus Art League.
