Ralston Crawford
Ralston Crawford ( Canadian/American, 1906-1978) was a Canadian born American painter and printmaker recognized internationally for his pioneering work in the movement of Precisionism, a style that stressed flat colors, sharp edges with little texture, and embraced industrial images, such as grain elevators, bridges, railroads, and factory scenes, often reducing theses subjects to their essential geometric forms. Crawford also worked in the medium of photography, both as a tool for the painter and as an abstract medium itself. He studied in Los Angeles, Columbia University and Paris. He worked at U.S galleries such as Albright Knox art gallery. He grew up in Buffalo, N.Y. . His history is extensive and is known for his profession as painter, lithographer, illustrator, photographer, lecturer and teacher.

Suzy Frelinghuysen was born into a wealthy and prominent New Jersey family, and growing up, she was tutored in both art and music. While she showed an early talent for art, it was not her primary interest; as a child, she nurtured an nambition to become a professional singer. In 1935, she married George Morris, who came from an equally wealthy and distinguished New York family and had already established himself as an art collector, artist, and critic. Morris encouraged Frelinghuysen to paint and introduced her to a circle of affluent abstract artists, including the artist and collector Albert Gallatin. Gallatin owned a small but influential gallery, known as the Gallery of Living Art...
