解説
The first major book about an artist of powerful significance to twentieth-century Black and American art
The artist Allan Rohan Crite (1910-2007) was a community leader, mentor, and tireless recorder of the people and places of Boston, where he lived for the better part of a century. Before the age of forty, he had exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art, sold work to the important collector Duncan Phillips, and earned the respect of fellow Black artists around the country. But Crite's decision to stay in Boston and his commitment to depicting middle class Black life and religious subjects relegated him to the margins of art histories that put the Harlem Renaissance at the center. Allan Rohan Crite: Neighborhood Liturgy, the first major book dedicated to this important artist, is a richly illustrated and wide-ranging celebration of a figure whose vast body of work deserves a much broader audience.
Crite trained at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and became a self-described "artist-reporter," drawing and painting vivid scenes of everyday life in Roxbury, the South End, and other Boston neighborhoods, while grappling with the ways they were transformed in the second half of the century by "urban renewal," gentrification, and changing demographics. Working in oil, watercolor, lithography, book illustration, and beyond, he incorporated spiritual themes in his work throughout his career, blurring the secular and the sacred.
Featuring essays by leading scholars of African American art, Black intellectual history, and urban studies, as well as oral histories by contemporary artists and Crite's friends, Allan Rohan Crite reveals the radical power of Crite's art and its profound influence on generations of artists, activists, and community leaders.
