The Beginning of Miracles: IV 1953

"The Beginning of Miracles: IV" is a 1953 serigraph by Corita Kent, a renowned American artist known for her vibrant, socially conscious artwork. This particular piece features a minimalist style, with simplified figures and a limited color palette of brown and beige. The composition is dense and chaotic, with figures and objects overlapping and interacting in a dynamic way. Kent's use of repetition and text, seen in the upper left corner of the artwork, adds another layer of visual interest and meaning, highlighting the artist's connection to social justice and religious themes. The piece exemplifies Kent's signature style, which blends Pop art elements with Catholic iconography and a strong sense of social commentary.
