His work hangs in all major museums and galleries in Scotland and is part of the Royal Collection.
He was at the centre of what he once described as "a little local Renaissance", which included Hugh MacDiarmid, J D Fergusson, James Bridie, T J Honeyman, and Basil Spence.
Other regulars at his studio were the refugee artists Jankel Adler and Josef Herman, as well as Duncan Macrae (whose portrait by Crosbie is now hanging in the People's Palace).
[citation needed] An important part of Crosbie's work after the war were his mural paintings, largely commissioned through his association with architects like Basil Spence and Jack Coia.
There were major retrospective exhibitions of Crosbie's work at Aitken Dott's in 1980, Ewan Mundy's, 1990, and Perth Museum and Art Gallery, 1990.
