About Abbie Zuill

  • Biography

    One of the still life specialists of the Fall River School (Massachusetts), Abbie L. Zuill was the most faithful to her teacher Robert Spear Dunning. After Dunning's death, she was called in to complete many of his works that were not finished. Being a later pupil in the school, her work naturally reflects lighter forms and a soft, luminous light. The fruit in her pictures tend not to be as sharply defined, and the actual painting is somewhat course, but her work is, very close to that of Dunning's.
