Crimi illustration at Sperry Gyroscope for the U.S.Army, 1943
During World War II, Crimi went to work for Sperry Gyroscope making drawings of weapons and instruments for military training manuals.
After the war, Crimi worked as a painter and watercolorist. His style evolved into abstractionism, including his painting "Metropolis", which "uses rectangular and abstract geometrical forms to represent a modern city."[3] He held numerous shows and was credited with having nine solo shows by 1963 when Francis Quirk organized an exhibit at Lehigh University.[4]
