Ogden Collection 162 LOUISIANA: THE NEW CENTURY JOHN MCCRADY b. 1911, Canton, Mississippi d. 1968, New Orleans, Louisiana One of the best-known twentieth-century southern artists, John McCrady studied and worked in New Orleans, where he established an influential art school. His scenes of the rural South are often compared with the work of Regionalist or American Scene painters such as John Steuart Curry, Grant Wood, and Thomas Hart Benton—the latter of whom McCrady studied with briefly. Like those artists, McCrady utilized images of everyday life in small-town and rural America for an iconic affect. He painted scenes of the American South and became particularly well known for his images of southern African Americans.
