BIOGRAPHY:
Paul Crosthwaite was a modernist painter who first studied at the Art Students League in New York. While there, he met painter John Sharp, who became his life-long companion. Attracted by the area's reputation of painting, the two moved to New Hope in 1934. Both men soon found success capturing the area's historic buildings in their paintings. These works, simple renderings infused with rich color, earned Crosthwaite wide recognition including a Hallmark prize, a Saturday Evening Post cover, and excellent reviews. His oil paintings, rendered with great detail and attention to composition and design, often have a romantic, surreal quality. A thread of mysticism runs through them, whether the subject is a landscape, floral composition, or still life. Crosthwaite also played a role in the founding of the Bucks County Playhouse.
