Biography from Colorado Historical Society
The following was taken from the book: "Colorado Sketchbook" by Paul Busch.
When Paul Busch left art school, The National Academy of Design, in New York City, the Depression of 1929 was already in full swing. Like most of the artists of that period he worked on the WPA Art Project as a print-maker, and work of that time went to the collections of The New York Public Library Print Collection, and the Syracuse Art Museum.
He also contributed cartoons to magazines such as "Saturday Evening Post", "Colliers", and "The American Magazine".
In the early 30s he went to work for Walt Disney and worked on Snow White, Pinnochio, Fantasia and Bambi before returning to New York to become art director of Willard Pictures, which had a contract to do U.S. Navy training films.
During this period, he also illustrated several world history books on the side which son made him a Colorado history buff.
Late in 1961 he joined the staff of the "Denver Post" as art director on their Sunday magazines "Round Up" and also started the "Colorado Sketchbook Series" and taught in the evenings (oil painting) at the Denver Opportunity School.
In 1972, he retired from the "Denver Post" on being commissioned by the Colorado State Game, Fish and parks Department to paint a historical mural for the Visitor's Center at Lathrop State Park just west of Walsenburg.
He then turned his attention to doing a Colorado Centennial Calendar and began adding to the original "Sketchbook Series" to bring it into its present form.
