Through A Glass Darkley (sic) is an etching created by American artist Nancy Snooks, a pupil of Sister Corita Kent, a nun and head of the Art Department at Immaculate Heart College in Los Angeles, California. Throughout her life, Snooks explored a variety of aesthetics within the abstract and expressionist genres, but kept her content primarily focused on religious subjects. For a time, her prints emulated the pop art style of Kent during the 1960s and 1970s, with bright blocks of color and graphic texts. This print is an example of Snooks’s darker expressionism that she explored throughout her career.
