He briefly moved to London to study part-time at the Central School of Art and at Saint Martin's School of Art before returning to Glasgow in 1925 to join the staff at the Glasgow School of Art. He eventually became Head of Painting there, a post he was to hold until 1948. As well as developing a strong style of portrait painting Crawford also painted murals, notably for a Roman Catholic chapel at Bellahouston and St Columba's Church in Glasgow.[2][3] He also completed murals at the John Brown & Company shipyard and at the Scottish Brewers premises in Glasgow.[4][5] When Crawford's depiction of wartime casualties, Tribute to Clydebank (The Stretcher Bearers) was shown at the Royal Academy in 1942 it was declared 'picture of the year' and he considered it his best work.[4] Also during World War Two, Crawford received a short-term commission from the War Artists' Advisory Committee for three portraits. The first, in May 1941, was for a portrait of the Lord Provost of Glasgow. This was followed by a subject for the Ministry of Home Security in February 1942 and finally a portrait of a Company Sergeant-Major in the Seaforth Highlanders which was completed in May 1942.[6] When Crawford left the Glasgow School of Art in 1948 he became Head of Grays School of Art until 1954 when he was appointed Principal of the Duncan of Jordonstone College of Art in Dundee, a post he retired from in 1964.[2] He was elected an Associate of the Royal Scottish Academy in 1938 and became a full member in 1956.[1][7] References1. ^1 {{cite book|author=Peter J.M.
