Allan Rohan Crite (1910 - ) is Boston's most distinguished Black artist and art historian, noted for an eclectic range of subjects - from religious themes to neighborhood scenes. His religious artwork can be seen in the Church of St. Augustine and St. Martin on Lenox Street in lower Roxbury. His views of Blacks in an urban setting, Crite says 'present [people] in an ordinary light, persons enjoying the usual pleasures of life with its mixtures of both sorrows and joys.' Crite's works have been exhibited throughout the United States and Europe and are in the permanent collections of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, the Boston Public Library, and Boston Athenaeum. His illustrated books, includingThe Christmas Message in Pictures andSome of the Colored Peoples of God, are collector's items.
