“be of love (a little) more careful than of everything”

1684
This set of four prints celebrates the writing of Unitarian poet e.e. cummings with both the expressiveness of a poem and the boldness of a logo. Corita Kent (1918–1986) was head of the art department at Immaculate Heart College in Los Angeles and later an activist, printing phrases about the civil rights movement and antiwar messages.

“be of love (a little) more careful than of everything”
