Allan Rohan Crite (North Plainfield,New Jersey, 1910 - Boston 2007) African-American painter. He studied at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, and Harvard University Extension School.
Major American art galleries, including the Smithsonian, the Museum of Fine Arts, the Art Institute in Chicago, hold Crite's work, but his art is also spread throughout the South End. [1]
Crite as a devout Episcopalian, focused many of his paintings on religious themes. In 1946, he painted "Madonna of the Subway" in which a black Virgin Mary and baby Jesus ride the Boston Orange Line. Crite also created books in which he illustrated religious stories from black spirituals including "Were You There When They Crucified My Lord", "Three Spirituals from Earth to Heaven", "Swing Low Sweet Chariot", "Heaven" and "Nobody knows the trouble I see".
