(a little) more careful 1967

Editor: This is “(a little) more careful” by Corita Kent. I’m really drawn to its bold colors, and the imperative phrase feels both like a gentle suggestion and a stern warning. What do you make of this, its message, its composition? Curator: Well, the beauty of Kent's work lies in its ability to be simultaneously playful and profound, like a visual poem. It’s so very simple, yet loaded with meaning. What if "careful" isn't about physical action, but about how we perceive the world? Editor: That's a lovely way to put it. I hadn’t considered the act of seeing as needing care. Curator: Precisely! Kent was a master of turning the everyday into the extraordinary. Editor: I'll definitely view her work differently now. Thanks! Curator: My pleasure. Remember, art is a mirror reflecting ourselves.
