Ralston Crawford Art

American, 1906-1978
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.
