An artist’s view of Doylestown landmarks — rendered in the geometric style of impressionistic cubism — has made the journey from its original site to the borough’s new home. Freda R. Savana, Bucks County Herald, filled in the details of this digital save.

The work, done in 1981 by local artist Denver Lindley Jr., originally brightened the wall of a public meeting room in the borough’s West Court Street building.

Amid plans to shift the Doylestown center of public business emerged the conundrum of what to do with the work. Because it had been crafted directly onto drywall, there was no method to remove it without destroying it.

A Jenkintown art-consulting firm devised a solution: Photograph the mural digitally, hang the resulting pictures on canvas, and mount those canvas squares on the new walls.

Lindley, the originator of the work, was also a Bucks County Commissioner, a Bucks County Community College board of trustees member, and a founder of the Bucks County Council on the Arts.

“Lindley often worked to bridge the gap between politics and art, and he often tried to present both with an understanding of the other, stating the ‘the arts are vital to society,’” according to the Bucks County Artists Database.
