Rue Kerlerec, 1934 Oil on canvas; 38 x 24 in. Collection of Micheline Martin Bator 138 LOUISIANA: THE NEW CENTURY JOSEPHINE CRAWFORD b. 1878, New Orleans, Louisiana d. 1952, New Orleans, Louisiana In the first half of the twentieth century, painter Josephine Crawford helped introduce the New Orleans artistic community to modernism. Though she did not begin painting until her midforties, Crawford took her work seriously, studying with well-known artists in Paris and Vienna in the 1920s. Her distinctive style, always recognizable, assimilated cubism with the flattened forms of modernism. Along with Paul Ninas and Will Henry Stevens, she helped challenge impressionism as the dominant style among New Orleans artists.
