Ogden Collection 246 ART IN CONTEMPORARY LOUISIANA GEORGE RALSTON CRAWFORD b. 1906, St. Catherine, Ontario, Canada d. 1978, Houston, Texas Though he never lived in Louisiana on a permanent basis, twentieth-century painter and photographer Ralston Crawford visited New Orleans frequently and featured the city in much of his work. He was on the faculty of Louisiana State University, and several exhibitions of his artwork took place in New Orleans and Baton Rouge. A proponent of precisionist theory in painting, Crawford’s compositions often featured crisply rendered geometric forms, abstractions of his real-world subjects. In Louisiana, he is best known for his photographs of New Orleans jazz musicians and the city’s distinctive aboveground cemeteries.
