| Approx. 20" x 16" oil on board, signed lower right and dated. Biography from AskART: The following information was submitted by Sam Robbins in June of 2006: Herbert Cash was born in Hyde, Cheshire, England in 1864. He came to Fall River, Mass. at the age of 9 in 1873. In 1879 at the age 15 he enrolled in the Fall River Evening Drawing School, which had been established in 1870. There he studied art with Robert Spear Dunning and Franklin H. Miller. After that he studied at the Art Students League in New York. At age 42, still intent on improving his artistic progress, he decided in 1906 to study with the English painter Edward Ertz, R.B.A. (Royal British Art Association). Ertz had been born in Chicago in 1862, but emigrated to England where he won many awards on both sides of the Atlantic. Cash may have met Ertz when he won a medal at the Philadelphia Museum in 1904. Cash's English landscapes in oils and watercolors were considered of high quality. He is believed to have returned in 1908 to Fall River to paint the traditional still life oils. He also became an expert cabinet maker as well, “in his spare time.” Since Fall River was then a major textile-manufacturing town, he was invited to become an instructor in drawing and in textile ornamentation at the Bradford Durfee Textile School where he taught until shortly before his death at the tender age of 50 in 1914. | ||
