內容簡介
內容簡介 修女藝術家 柯莉塔.肯特 柯莉塔.肯特 Corita Kent是一名修女也是藝術家。在小學六年級時,美術老師發現了她的藝術天賦並提供她課後修習的機會。畫畫時的Corita覺得自己就像在微風中飛行的鳥一樣。 她後來也教授美術,鼓勵學生大膽實驗、大膽玩,藝術的世界沒有對錯,沒勝沒敗,創作,就對了。她會注意街上的告示牌、路標或是雜誌上的廣告,並將這些字、圖、形狀重新排列組合,變成新的作品。後來,她也將創作領域延伸到絲網版畫。創作初期的主題多以聖經為主,漸漸超越框架,融入當時的流行文化,連披頭四的歌詞都曾經出現在她的創作中。本書由Matthew Burgess 撰寫,Kara Kramer插圖,並與Corita 藝術中心合作。書中包含Corita 作品的複製品、年表及插畫筆記。
