You’ll never believe what was found behind this fridge
In the sleepy town of Newburyport, Massachusetts, a startling discovery was made in the unlikeliest of places—a cramped, dusty space behind an old refrigerator. As Tom Henderson, a retired schoolteacher, decided to replace his aging kitchen appliance, he stumbled upon a trove of rolled-up canvases, obscured by years of neglect. What he found next would captivate the local art community and historians alike.
Tom initially thought these were mere replicas or prints, left behind by the previous homeowner. Curious, he took them to a local art expert for a closer look. To everyone’s astonishment, the canvases turned out to be original works by a relatively unknown but incredibly talented local artist from the early 20th century, Charles A. Freeberg, who had somehow faded into obscurity.
The paintings, a series of vibrant landscapes and intimate portraits, offered a window into the cultural and natural heritage of the area. Each piece was a frozen moment in time, capturing the essence of New England’s coastal scenery with a unique blend of realism and impressionism.
Tom decided to donate this remarkable find to the Newburyport Art Association. The association, thrilled by the discovery, organized an exhibition titled “Rediscovered: The Lost Works of Charles A. Freeberg.” The exhibition not only celebrated Freeberg’s artistic genius but also sparked discussions about the importance of preserving and recognizing local art.
Visitors flocked to the exhibition, drawn by the story of the art’s serendipitous discovery and the captivating beauty of Freeberg’s work. For many, it was a poignant reminder of the hidden treasures that might still be lurking in plain sight, tucked away in the nooks and crannies of their own homes.
