Daniel Garber was one of the most important painters of New Hope's second generation. Born of Mennonite
farming stock in North Manchester, Indiana, Garber moved east as a teenager to pursue his dream career as an
artist. After studying at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and in Europe, Garber settled down to painting
in his home, Cuttalossa, in Lumberville. Garber's style combines realism and fantasy, precise draftsmanship and
decorative technique, emblazoning all in vibrant, shimmering colors.

A landscape artist, Garber was best known for his paintings of Bucks County woods and quarries. To a greater
extent than many of his New Hope colleagues, Garber also achieved recognition as a portraitist. A leading instructor
at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts for over forty years, Garber influenced younger generations of painters, as well.
