James Crawford
James Crawford "Pile Series" 6 Silkscreen Signed Numbered

1970's

About the Item

"Pile Series" was completed during the 1970s. It has a tongue-in-cheek affect as all the prints are photographs of stacks, or "piles", of industrial construction items silkscreened on cardboard giving these building materials a more aesthetic value. These silkscreens are mentioned and one is pictured in the famous, "Kick Out the Jams: Detroit Cass Corridor 1963 - 1977" iconic publication by the Detroit Institute of Arts regarding Detroit's Cass Corridor Artists. They are all signed and numbered. James Alan Crawford was born in 1944 in Hillsdale, Michigan. He studied art for two years at Michigan State University before transferring to Wayne State University and graduating there. He received his MFA in 1969 while being mentored by John Egner and Aris Koutroulis. He was a pioneer of Detroit's Cass Corridor Art Movement that spanned the 1960's and 1970's. Crawford would serve as the visual arts coordinator at the Michigan Council for the Arts from 1970 to 1992. Crawford's work spans nearly every possible medium and has a quiet intellectualism in its themes, set against the backdrop of the uncertain urban landscape. While the Cass Corridor era of Detroit's art has come and gone, Crawford's work has been at the forefront at interest in its revival.
