Born in Canton, Mississippi, John McCrady had a deep exposure to
southern culture during his childhood in Oxford, Mississippi. His
father was an Episcopalian minister who also taught philosophy at the
University of Mississippi.
In the mid 1940s, he worked on a
series of paintings of nostalgic scenes of the Deep South including
images of steamboats, plantation, and cotton fields. These works,
very popular with the public, were exhibited at the Associated American
Artist (showing 500 of 1704 characters). |
