Type of artwork: An Original Vintage Watercolour Painting
Surface: Paper
Artist and signature: Signed by Cuthbert Crossley (1883-1960)
Painter, printmaker and designer, notable for landscapes and architectural subjects, sometimes employing unusual means. He was born in Halifax, Yorkshire, where he early showed artistic gifts. Studied advanced applied design at the local School of Art, winning a King’s Prize. Crossley was a member of the School of Art Sketching Society and a founder-member, around 1907, of Halifax Arts and Crafts Society. Soon after World War I Crossley became a designer for John Crossley & Sons, carpet makers, at the Dean Clough works, but by the early 1920s had become a full-time artist. He drew for the Halifax Courier; in 1928 completed etchings of old Halifax, including the three gates of the Piece Hall; and in 1933 illustrated T W Hanson’s Old Inns of Halifax.
Showed in Yorkshire and at RA, RI, RSA, RBA, Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool and at the Paris
... Salon. Bankfield Museum in Halifax and public galleries in Leeds and Newcastle upon Tyne hold Crossley’s work, which could sometimes show a Cubist influence. Moved from Halifax soon after World War II to St Ives, Cornwall, where his wife shortly, and he later, died. In 1962 there was a Crossley Memorial Exhibition at Bankfield, with a further show there in 1973.
