Artist

Crace

Crace is an Impressionism artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

John Gregory Crace spent his life turning the inside of other people’s houses into art. He had a knack for catching the exact shade of maroon damask against a walnut door, the way a gaslight flickered over a plaster ceiling rose. One afternoon he walked into Drapers’ Hall, sketched the grand drawing room in pencil, and left before anyone noticed. The sheet is now a backstage map for anyone who wants to feel what it’s like to sit inside gilded Victorian opulence without the velvet ropes.
