The words “Sweet it was o dear heart to meet and learn to love thee” run across the top half of this vertical composition. Most of the work is covered in a wash of red color, however, in the center there are a series of circular shapes in green, yellow, greyish brown and white. Under these, in the lower right corner of the work, the artist has written “Rouault”. Just above this, there is a small area of green, yellow and brown showing through the red wash. There is also a line of copy running vertically up the left side of the composition.

The composition is a horizontal rectangle that is almost square, in the lower portion of the rectangle is a band of pink color with the word "one" reversed out of it and with black text printed upside down and over the word "one." Above the pink block of color are the words "The" located in the upper left corner of the composition on top of the word "Sure" which is upside down. "The" and "Sure" fill the upper 2/3 of the composition. The phrase "For Help" is mostly printed in black with a bit of green on the "elp." "For Help" is positioned over "The" and "Sure." Underneath "For Help" and printed upside down and backwards is the phrase "Dial "O"." These words are also in black. The whole phrase, "For Help Dial "O"" fills the central section of the composition. In the lower section, overlaying the word "one" is the phrase "Anybody who thinks he can manage alone, he’s an idiot." The word "can" and part of the word manage are printed in a blue-gray ink instead of black.

This is a horizontal composition with the majority of the imagery on the left. A vertical band of pale red fills about 1/3 of the composition, however it does not go all the way to the top or the bottom of the page. Also, the lower portion of the band of red is a darker red. The band of red is filled with white copy starting with the words "Lesson Nine." Overlaying the red band and floating predominately in the center of the composition is the phrase "COME HOME TO FLAVOR AGAIN" in a charcoal gray color. The first two words of the phrase, "COME HOME" are stacked one on top of the other. The other three words are also stacked one on top of another, however the words are upside down and backwards starting with "AGAIN" directly below "HOME," then "FLAVOR" below "AGAIN" and "TO" below "FLAVOR."

This vertical composition is dominated by a woman in profile seen from the hips upward, holding what appears to be a long rope or cord. The figure’s mouth is turned down. She wears a dark short-sleeved dress and her long dark hair falls down her back. The artist used monochromatic tones (black, white, grey and beige) in this print. Parts of the composition were printed on what appears to be a newspaper article about John Foster Dulles, Secretary of State under Dwight D. Eisenhower. The artist used a collage technique in which pieces of paper that have been torn are laid over the composition. The frayed edges of these papers add a textural element to the work. A loose vertical woodblock pattern, reminiscent of flames, is superimposed over the newsprint to form the background.
This work was part of an exhibition, "Look at this, and look again, and see anew." — Corita at the Catherine G. Murphy Gallery at St. Kate's in 2016

This horizontal composition consists of a white background with the words "I love you" in large black text in the center-left of the work. Below that is the phrase "BALANCE UNEASY" in pink and black text with the two words stacked one on top of the other and the first word inverted.

You become. It takes / a long time. That's why it doesn't often happen / to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, / or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time / you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off / and your eyes drop out and you get loose at the joints / and very shabby. / But these things don't matter at all because once you are Real / you can't be ugly, except to people / who don't understand. / M.

The words “Sweet it was o dear heart to meet and learn to love thee” run across the top half of this vertical composition. Green is the predominant color, however, in the center there are a series of circular shapes in yellow, brown and white. Under these, in the lower right corner of the work, the artist has written “Rouault”. There are two leaf-like forms near this. There is also a line of copy running vertically up the left side of the composition.

Four figures are seated facing each other in this horizontal composition. They are seated in chairs in a circular arrangement. The figure nearest to the picture plane has his back to the viewer. To his right, there is an orange figure in profile wearing a cap. The other two figures face the viewer. All four figures are outlined in white and inhabit the central area of the composition. Green and aqua are the predominant colors in this composition. The space surrounding the figures is covered in a green expanse of pigment, while the central area is mostly aqua. Areas of yellow, orange, brown and grey are also visible throughout the work.

This horizontally oriented composition is basically seven lines of copy on a predominately white background. There is a vertical red band of color about 1/8 from the top of the composition, and a little less from the bottom. The width of the band is a little less than 1/4 of the composition. The upper half of the composition has four lines of verse in pale blue. The first line, "but the", the second line, which is backwards and upside down is "handling." The third line, also backwards and upside down is " is in your," and the last line is "hands". The verse below the blue verse is stacked into three lines all in red except where the letters over lap the red band and then the letters are in white. The verse is "HUMBLE, RESEARCH WORKS, WONDERS WITH OIL."

This is a horizontal composition with a red band running across the bottom third of the composition. The red becomes a red-orange in the lower right-hand corner. The phrase “Powerful enough to make a difference” is divided into two lines stacked directly on top of one another. The phrase is in white. In the lower right-hand corner, another phrase in white is stacked into four lines, one on top of the other. This phrase, “For emergency use soft shoulder” is divided randomly to fit the space and it is written upside down and backwards. The upper two thirds of the composition is filled with another two phrases with the one phrase, “Get with the Action” dominating the majority of the space. “Get with the Action” is in blue against a white background and the words are stacked in three undulating lines. Part of the word “the” is in red. To the right of this phrase is another phrase, “Wine that rejoyces man’s heart” is in yellow stacked in four lines and written upside down and backwards.

This is a horizontal rectangular composition with an irregular band of blue running across the top of the composition but not reaching either the right or the left side. On the far left, under a section of the blue band is a large yellow circular shape. The yellow from the circular shape branches out toward the right touching a beige mound of scribble marks that create hills and valleys across the composition under the blue band. On the far right, another small yellow circular shape is wedged in the valley between two of the beige scribble shapes. There is a border of off-white along the bottom of the composition.

Several figures can be seen lifting a large parcel in the foreground of this horizontal composition. The figures appear to be engaged in a task of lifting or moving some object. The figure dressed in white on the left appears to be standing on a ledge or platform of some kind while the figure dressed in black on the right bends over to give the object to him. There is little definition given to the space, rendered in beige, that surrounds the figures to indicate their whereabouts. Though most of the composition is rendered in neutral tones such as black, white, grey and beige, there are several areas of red and orange pigment, which might be the result of accidental transfer from other works. In the background on the left, the silhouette of a dark figure wearing a hat can be seen —half of his body is cut off by the left-hand margin of the composition. Similarly, the head of the figure in white is cut off by the top of the composition. Each of the figures is rendered with minimal detail. The faces of the figures are devoid of features such as eyes, noses and mouths.
This work was part of an exhibition, "Look at this, and look again, and see anew." — Corita at the Catherine G. Murphy Gallery at St. Kate's in 2016

The work is a serigraph print oriented in the landscape view and is highly abstracted, the focal point being a man located in the center-left of the work. He faces the viewer and appears to have a beard and wears a garment of some sort. He is the largest figure in the composition and takes up most of the vertical space in the center-left. Furthermore, he spreads his arms out horizontally, taking up additional physical and psychological space within the composition. Surrounding him are many other figures and objects. In the lower left of the work, two small silhouetted figures, one on its knees, raise their arms up to the bearded figure. Nine more figures are arrayed over the right third of the composition doing similarly. Each one faces the focal figure at left, with arms raised up. Some are kneeling in a way that suggests prayer. To the right of the bearded figure and at center of the work is a white circle containing a black symbol, similar to that of the Chi-Rho, the first Christian cross. In terms of color, most of the form in the work are delineated by areas of black positive or negative space against the white of the paper. Splashes of green are also employed in the image at left, some at center and a majority of the right side of the composition. There are also splashes of orange and pink overlays printed within the composition.

Inscribed: Yellow Spring / April came, full / Of yellow flowers, / The brook was yellow / The stone walls were yellow, the hill, / The children's graveyard, / And the orchard where love was living. / The sun anointed the world with yellow / With down pouring rays. / Ah through the golden Lillies, / The warm golden water, / The yellow butterflies / Over the golden roses. / April came, full / Of yellow flowers / The brook was yellow / The stone walls were yellow, the hill / The children's graveyard, / And the orchard where love was / living / Yellow garlands were climbing / Up the trees, the day / Was a grace perfumed with gold / In a golden awakening of life / Among the bones of the dead, / God opened his yellow hands.
