William Bertrum Sharp

Born: Pueblo, Colorado Jan  21, 1924
Died: Ft. Lyons, Colorado Mar 7, 1984

William Bertrum Sharp achieved national recognition in the 50s, and then virtually dropped out of sight. In 1966, a one-man show at the McNay Art Institute, San Antonio, Texas, renewed  his fame. An intensely private artist, eventually Sharp was again lost to the public eye.

[My work] "was purely a battle I had with my own prosaicness . . . I'm not a recluse, but I have spent much time alone. Without  solitude one has difficulties in envisioning for himself -- building the essential castles in his own mind."
