00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,519
Speaker 1: The work of Boston artist Alan Rowan Krite, who called

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: this city home for ninety seven years, is on display

3
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: at both the Gardner Museum and the Boston Atheneum. Christina Michelon,

4
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,880
Speaker 1: who curated the Atheneum exhibit, says Krit really wanted to

5
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: represent the world around.

6
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 2: Him, to celebrate the everyday life of the black community

7
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:22,960
Speaker 2: in Boston, especially in Lower Roxbury in the South End,

8
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,479
Speaker 2: the places where he lived. He wanted to depict just

9
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 2: the kind of beautifully mundane aspects of everyday life.

10
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: It's unusual for two institutions, the Gardener and the Atheneum,

11
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:35,919
Speaker 1: to be featuring the work of the same artist at

12
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 1: the same time, but Christina points out that he loved

13
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: both places. They both meant a lot to Alan Krit.
