Happy holidays from the Hammer Museum! Over the next two weeks, we will be sharing holiday-themed artworks for the #HammerHolidays.
There is truth behind the famous Christmas tune that declares holidays are “the most wonderful time of the year.” We get to feast on seasonal foods, we listen to holiday music, we watch Christmas movies, we get presents, and we spend time with loved ones. During the rush of the holidays, it is important to remember the Ugo Betti quote that is the focus of this Corita Kent print: “Each of us is the only person who can give the other what each of us want to have. Peace.”
When waiting in long lines in department stores or amidst the stress of finding the perfect gift for a family member or a friend, remember to treat everyone this holiday season with peace and kindness. Peace and goodwill are some of the greatest gifts of the holiday season.
