A Month of Corita Kent

For This month I'm featuring Corita Kent's book "Damn Everything But The Circus". While roaming the aisle of the fort worth central library(yes the library is one of my visited places) I came upon this book. Amazed that it was a female artist and digged the typography it seemed so vintage yet modern for today. I thought I would share the whole book with you. I hope no ones comes after me for copyright infringement. I'm a fan sharing her work, for others who might miss out on this little gem and most of it will be cropped out because of my average size scanner. I hope you enjoy.






When  ancestral kings corrupted their captains, 
and the church blessed both captains and kings,
the court jester got laughs simply by sniffing
the troubled air : implying that the stink in the herring
begins in its head.
In times like our own, it isn't surprising
to find men and women crowding the night-clubs
in hope of seeing somebody sniff the air.
In such times, clowns become witnesses.

Soaring Voices-- The Crow Collection

If you live in the DFW area or you are going to be in Dallas between now and May 8th. Stop by the Crow Collection of Asian Art. They have this wonderful exhibit of Asian Ceramic art done by the women of Japan. The exhibit is called Soaring Voices.It's very amazing they really pushed the boundaries of clay. I really want to eventually get back into ceramics and these works really put fuel to the fire.
