Corita Kent was an Iowa-born nun who taught art in Los
Angeles. After leaving the sisterhood in 1968, she devoted
herself to conveying artistic messages of optimism and
peace, including a brilliant rainbow painted on a natural
gas tank along a Boston highway. The public enjoyed
the characteristic splashes of color that graced this
1985 Love issuance, and more than 700 million stamps
were sold. |
