Allan Rohan Crite: Neighborhood

Born in New Jersey and raised in Boston, Allan Rohan Crite dedicated his life to creating a rich visual record of African American life in twentieth-century urban America. Allan Rohan Crite: Neighborhood offers a sweeping overview of Crite’s long career and enduring legacy as a storyteller, chronicler, and cultural historian, from his early paintings of everyday life to his mid-century experiments with printmaking and self-fashioning.

Allan Rohan Crite: Neighborhood is organized by the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Boston, Massachusetts. The Zimmerli’s presentation is organized by Nicole Simpson, Curator of Prints and Drawings.

This exhibition is made possible through generous support from donors to Zimmerli’s Major Exhibition Fund: Kathrin and James Bergin, Sundaa and Randy Jones, Heena and Hemanshu Pandya, and Mark L. Pomerantz, with additional support from Rutgers University.

The Zimmerli’s operations, exhibitions, and programs are funded in part by Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, and income from the Avenir Endowment Fund and the Andrew W. Mellon Endowment Fund, among others. Additional support comes from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, Bloomberg Philanthropies, and the donors, members, and friends of the museum.

Generous support for bilingual text was provided by Art Bridges Foundation’s Access for All program.
