This catalogue, that was written by Christopher McIntosh, provides a long critical essay. He mentions the runic symbol of the SS as an example which evolved from the interchangeable f's and s's in the 18th century symbolizing grace, elegance and high culture. He notes that Finlay's interest in the SS symbol is an example of coincidence, for this has passed into the visual symbology of "pop" culture; the rock group "Kiss" use it and it is frequently scrawled as grafitti. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Scope and Contents Amazon.com: "At 18, Corita Kent (1918-1986) entered the Roman Catholic order of Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in Los Angeles, where she taught art and eventually ran the art department. After more than 30 years, at the end of the 1960s, she left the order to devote herself to making her own work. Over a 35-year career she made watercolors, posters, books and banners--and most of all, serigraphs--in an accessible and dynamic style that appropriated techniques from advertising, consumerism and graffiti. The earliest of it, which she began showing in 1951, borrowed phrases and depicted images from the Bible; by the 1960s, she was using song lyrics and publicity slogans as raw material.

"Evaginate," the word spelled out by in the second page means, "to unsheathe or take a grain out of the husk; also to tureen a tubular organ inside-out." But the network accompanying the word is richly and thickly clustering. This putting "Eden" behind yields the best grain? And acts - VER/MIC/IDE being the next text vermicidally? -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
