Abstract
BOSTON REALIST ARTISTS of the past four decades, many of them affiliated initially with the School of the Museum of Fine Arts and later with Boston University, have generally considered their art as a form of personal expression within the tradition of art and craftsmanship. Jack Kramer was a part of this Boston tradition from the early 1940s, first as a student in the Museum School and later as an artist and art professor at Boston University's School of Visual Arts. His art and career reflect his figure-based training as well as contemporary developments of art in the city. Kramer, a versatile artist who experimented with different ideas and styles, expressed in his work the artist's craft and creation as part of a vital art tradition as well as the private drama and psychological tension of human existence.
