Paintings, Drawings, and Sculpture—20th Century and Contemporary
The FRHS is expanding its holdings in this category and is actively acquiring artwork by Fall River natives or by artists with a city connection and views of Fall River and its environs. Twentieth-century works include paintings, drawings, and sculpture.
Included are later pieces by artists of the so called Fall River School, and examples by Fall River natives George Bradford Ashworth (1892-1951), Carder Hazard Durfee (1915-2003), and Howard Kanovitz (1929-2009), among others. Contemporary works include a series of commissioned masks of historical subjects by the Fall River artist David Mello.
