Timeline

1906

Ralston Crawford (1906–1978) was an American abstract painter, lithographer, and photographer.

He was born on September 5, 1906, in St. Catharines, Ontario, and spent his childhood in Buffalo, New York.

1927

He studied art beginning in 1927 in California at the Otis Art Institute.

After working at the Walt Disney Studio, he returned to the eastern U.S. for further study at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and at the Barnes Foundation, where he was exposed to the art of Picasso and Matisse.

1932

After traveling to Paris Crawford enrolled at the Academia Colarossi in 1932, followed by time at the Academie Scandinave a year later.

1934

In 1934, he had his first one-man showing at the Maryland Institute College of Art.

Crawford was best known for his abstract representations of urban life and industry.

His early work placed him with Precisionist artists like Niles Spencer and Charles Sheeler.

Here, the focus was on realistic, sharp portrayals of factories, bridges, and shipyards.

Later work was geometrically abstract.

In Spain, he observed bullfighting, and the religious procession during Holy Week in Seville.

In New Orleans, he painted and photographed cemeteries and jazz musicians (requiring a permit to visit bars normally restricted to blacks).

1946

Fortune Magazine sent Crawford to the Bikini Atoll in 1946 to record a nuclear weapons test.

During his abstract period, he said, "I don't feel obligated to reveal the forms. They may be totally absent to the viewer of the work, or even to myself, but what is there, however abstract, grows out of something I have seen. I make pictures."

1972

In 1972 Crawford won an award from the National Academy of Design.

1978

On April 27, 1978, Crawford died of cancer in Houston, Texas, survived by his wife Peggy (1917–2015) and three children (Neelon, John and Robert).

At that time, his works were included in the public collections of the Honolulu Museum of Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Walker Art Center, and the Toledo Museum of Art.

Crawford is buried in St. Louis Cemetery No. 3 in New Orleans, a short distance from one of the Catholic cemeteries in which he produced many of his works.

2015
