Harold Kenworthy (1893-1964) was a British-born designer, painter, sculptor, and art educator who specialized in oils and watercolors depicting the New England coast and countryside. BiographyHarold Kenworthy was one of eight children born in Oldham, England to cotton weaver James and Flora Crossley Kenworthy. At least two older siblings had emigrated to the United States by the time Harold was 21. Edith and her husband, Alfred Rodgers, had opened the English Bakery on Harmony Court in New Bedford, Mass. George and his wife, Jane Hodson Kenworthy, rejecting their future as millworkers in England, had emigrated in 1909 and settled in New Bedford as well.[1] Receiving art training in the technical schools of Oldham, England, Kenworthy earned a First Class Certificate of the City and Guilds of London Institute in drawing and painting as well as the Guild Award in sketching and decorative painting[2], the Lycum Prize and the South Kensington Awards [3] Listing himself as a painter on the passenger log, 21-year-old Harold Kenworthy came to the U.S. on the Lusitania, landing at Ellis Island on September 14, 1914 with $21 in his pocket.[4] Although he indicated at immigration that he had paid his own way, one story is that his sister, Edith, and her husband had paid for his travel in return for working at their bakery to pay back his passage [5]. He wanted to draw or paint, however, not work as a bakery employee, and he enrolled in the Swain School of Design, where he was a honor student.[3] With the US entry into World War I, Kenworthy took advantage of the opportunity to enlist in the American Expeditionary Force, which would lead to U.S. citizenship as well as get him out of the bakery business. He was shipped overseas very quickly, assigned to a horse-drawn infantry unit with the New Bedford Battery D, 102nd Field Artillery.[6][3] When photographed, Kenworthy was identified as a cook[7], presumably assigned due to his bakery experience. His drawing skills were quickly recognized, and he was called on to draw the topographical maps of the area where his unit was serving. Serving at great peril, it was the worst of trench warfare that he was exposed to [8]. Kenworthy was awarded the Purple Heart with three oak leaf clusters and was later awarded the Silver Star Medal.[3] Kenworthy returned to New Bedford badly shell shocked [9], but discovered that he could apply to the Rhode Island School of Design if he passed the entrance exams, which he did after extensive and intense preparation [10]. He graduated from the Architectural Department in 1921 and went on to do a year of post-graduate at the Architectural School at Harvard University.[3] He later studied with muralist Carroll Bill.[2] Kenworthy moved to Mattapoisett, Massachusetts, in 1964 [11] at age 71, and died later that same year. Professional lifeKenworthy worked for several years on the design staff at Irving and Casson, a Boston interior design and furniture company. He then worked for five years as a member of the design staff at the Rochester, NY studios of the Hayden Co. of New York, then returning to Boston as the chief designer for the [https://www.justcollecting.com/miscellania/charak-furniture-company Charak Furniture Company.] Kenworthy also worked for two years as the lithographic artist for the Potter Press of Waltham, MA.[3] In 1936, Harold Kenworthy accepted a position as instructor in the Industrial Design Department of the New Bedford Vocational School,[3] where he remained on the faculty as he painted and exhibited his work primarily in the Buzzards Bay area of Massachusetts. Kenworthy was considered an authority on Heraldry.[2] After retiring as a teacher, Kenworthy continued painting and was a "well known" local artist when he moved to Mattapoisett in 1964.[12] Exhibitions and galleriesAs of 1945, Kenworthy's work had been exhibited at the Rochester Memorial Art Gallery, the Easy Street Galleries on Nantucket Island, and the Boston Architectural Club.[3] He was a member of the New Bedford Art Center Group, with whom he exhibited [13] Kenworthy is listed in Davenport's Art Reference, Worthpoint, and Liveauctioneers.
