Crist moved to New Hope, Pennsylvania around 1940, both for the pursuit of his art career and the active theatrical setting of interest to his wife.

He and his wife began a series of children's books.Crist exhibited work at the Associated Artists of Pittsburgh, the Butler Institute, the Cincinnati Art Museum, the Museum of Non-Objective Art (now the Guggenheim), Phillips Mill (New Hope and the Whitney Museum, His work is owned by Penn State University, the University of Pennsylvania and the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh.He settled in the Woodstock Art Colony in 1960 and remained there until his death in 1985.
