Description

He displayed all the talents necessary to be a competent artist at a very early age, and pursued a career in Banking before dedicating himself to painting. He studied at the Grand Central School of Art with George E. Browne. He was a member of the then important Salmagundi Club in New York City, and the Allied Artists of America, an exhibition cooperative. He exhibited frequently between 1946 and 1954 at the above, and with the Audubon Artists, and also at Spring Lake and the Jersey City Museum, Montclare Art Museum, New Jersey Painters and Sculptors Society, Trenton State Museum, Palm Beach Art and Museums Association. Mostly painting landscapes and rural scenes of New Jersey Craven did travel abroad to Italy and painted there as well. Craven died in 1960. In this work, a not uncommon theme of the inviting roadway, leads the viewer past a cozy vernacular house on a crisply cold snowbound day. The raking light dials in the hour, be it early or late in the day. It amazes me how crude yet precise Craven’s brushwork is, for at a distance the ultimate effect would be almost photographic if not for the liveliness of the composition. The distant tree-line is a muddled wash of color inclined in joinder with the progressive curvature of the roadway, which miraculously embodies all the complexity of baren limbs layered upon layers. Broken down into its most distinct elements, the spatial qualities impart the idea of movement, despite the stillness of the moment captured. This is a work of the highest caliber and a significant contribution even to the most sophisticated of collections.
