Additional Details

Crite (born 1910) His work is best described by author Barbara Earl Thomas: "In the Crite universe, the world is reflected through his faith, interest in history, and love of neighborhood. Rendered with a sharp eye and a graphic touch, his paintings tell a simple story about the quality of one day, a small activity, or historic or holy event. The content is conveyed through his attention to configurations on the surface, the details of the brick, the color of the wood, the texture of the hair. When he gives us these details, it is not to merely demonstrate the prowess of his draftsmanship but rather to help us understand the structure of reality as he sees it ."
