Keith A. Crown Jr. (BFA 1946) made a name for himself in Missouri and
elsewhere painting wildly colorful, abstract landscapes of wherever he
happened to be.
"He
made our landscape the center of his art,” Joan Stack, curator for the State
Historical Society of Missouri said.
"We were able to see Missouri through his unique vision.”
Mr. Crown, a prolific
watercolor artist, died Sunday, Jan. 31, 2010 in Columbia, leaving behind a
legacy of influential art. He was
91.
