Allan Rohan Crite created these works as he grappled with the gentrification and shifting demographics of the city he loved. Just as Boston underwent significant changes throughout the 20th century, so too did Crite’s art, evolving from documentary naturalism to works inspired by African art to a graphic-novel-like approach to line drawing and bookmaking. Regardless of the medium in which he worked, Crite honored the divine in the everyday, guided by a profound optimism and “manifest love of humanity.”
