Corita Kent: How a Screenprinting Nun Changed the Course of Modern Art

During the 1960s, a woman named Corita Kent transformed a tiny art department in a Hollywood Catholic school into a global center for design and printmaking. She was buddies with Buckminister Fuller and counted IBM as a client. Oh yeah, and she was a nun!

Giovanni Battista Piranesi was one of the most versatile and talented artists of the 18th century. His etchings, in particular, show him to be a highly imaginative individual whose fantastical images were grounded in a firm knowledge of ancient Roman architecture and technology. Piranesi’s etchings of imaginary prison interiors, the Carceri, remain some of his most intriguing work. Comprised of colossal interior views, this series orchestrates immense architectural elements in inventive formations to create believable but entirely fabricated constructions of ambiguous and forbidding character. This work is on view in the exhibition Between Fact and Fantasy: The Artistic Imagination in Print, through June 22, 2014.  Image: Giovanni Battista Piranesi (Italian, 1720–1778) The Round Tower, from the series Carceri (Prisons), 1761–78 Etching R.T.

Behind Historic Preservation, a Surreal History

Respectful neoclassicism met dark, weird imaginings in the complicated mind of Giovanni Battista Piranesi.

The etchings [Carceri] are both "Imaginary Prisons" and "Prisons of the Imagination"... His work suggests that the same power capable of erecting massive monuments to itself can also build an enormous apparatus of punishment.
