The American realist Rockwell Kent was born in Tarrytown, New York and first studied painting in 1900 under William Merritt Chase while attending the Columbia University School of Architecture. In 1904 he enrolled in the New York School of Art, where he studied under Robert Henri and Kenneth Hayes Miller. Kent’s many interests—architecture, painting, illustration, carpentry, and writing—were enhanced by the widespread, often exotic, locales he visited.
He was grounded in the American realist tradition and rarely painted urban scenes like his contemporaries George Bellows and John Sloan. The Federal Public Works Administration commissioned Kent in 1935 to paint two murals for the new post office building in Washington, D.C. He enjoyed acclaim as a major American artist during the 1930s.

- Corita Kent Original Serigraph Vietnam War Protest, "Wouldn't You Go to Jail.."By Corita KentLocated in Phoenix, AZOriginal serigraph by Sister Mary Corita Kent (1918-1986). Sheet size: 25"h x 30"w. Titled “Would You Go to Jail if it Would End the War? Quote by activist Daniel Ellsberg. Important & rare serigraph protesting the Vietnam war. Signed lower right in ink. Ca. 1971 Loosely tipped onto a black mat board measuring 26 x 31 inches. Neither matted nor framed. In excellent condition with no damage. Sister Corita Kent (1918-1986) was a nun and art teacher at Immaculate Heart College in Los Angeles. Her departure from the school (and the order) in 1968, was partially related to tension between the order and the church over the progressive reforms of the Vatican II movement, but it was also timed with her own artistic commitments and rising renown. Throughout the 1960s, she made radio and TV appearances and lectured around the country. Before Warhol made the medium famous, she was working in serigraphy (screen-printing) because it could be cheaply mass-produced and widely disseminated. Her lively, colorful works speak through graphic simplicity as they combine Bible verses, brand logos, literary quotes, and even Beatles lyrics...Category
