Corita Kent’s 'stop the bombing' not only reflects the anti-war sentiments of the 1960s but serves as an enduring message for current and future generations, calling for peace amidst conflict.
The poem by Gerald Huckaby, featured in the serigraph, reveals a deeply personal anguish about war, depicting the internal conflict and terror faced by those affected, echoing the fears of many during the Vietnam War.
As we mark significant anniversaries like the one on November 23, 2024, we are reminded of Kent's powerful legacy that transcends time, urging society to reflect on the ongoing impacts of war.
Kent’s artwork embodies not just her artistic shift, but also a broader societal commitment to peace, as it resonates with the struggles of contemporary civil discourse amid global conflicts.
