This biography from the Archives of 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, Massachusetts 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.
