Inscriptions and Marks Signed: l.r.: Corita (not assigned): Printed text reads: eat / great / REAL BREAD / best bread ever / When I hear bread breaking, I see something else; it seems almost as though God never meant us to do anything else. So beautiful a sound, the crust breaks like manna and falls all over everything, and then we eat; bread gets inside humans. Sometime in your life, hope you might see one starved man, the look on his face when the bread finally arrives. Hope you might have baked it or bought it or even needed it for yourself. For that look on his face for your hands meeting his across a piece of bread, you might be willing to lose a lot, or suffer a lot-or die a little, even. dan berrigan State, Edition, Standard Reference Number Standard Reference Number Corita Art Center Cat. #67-10 Acquisition and Rights Credit Line Harvard Art Museums/Fogg Museum, Margaret Fisher Fund Copyright © Courtesy of the Corita Art Center, Immaculate Heart Community, Los Angeles / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York Accession Year 2008 Object Number 2008.162 Division Modern and Contemporary Art Contact am_moderncontemporary@harvard.edu Permissions The Harvard Art Museums encourage the use of images found on this website for personal, noncommercial use, including educational and scholarly purposes.
