Allan
Rohan Crite
American
b. 1910
Allan Rohan
Crite was raised in Boston, Massachusetts and graduated from
the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in 1936. He became an vital
member of Boston's art community, and one of the most important
African-American artists of the twentieth century. Crite's early
paintings depict the daily life of Boston's African-American
community. According to Crite, he sought to show viewers the
"real Negro" as opposed to the "Harlem" or
"jazz Negro," that was created by white people. In
his later work, religious themes dominated, offering a message
of hope and deliverance. During the 1950s Crite wrote and illustrated
books with theological themes telling "the story of man
through the black figure."
