To Be Modern: The Origins of Marguerite and William Zorach's Creative Partnership, 1911-1922; essay by Jessica Nicoll Zorach, a mature artist approaching the height of his creative powers, was speaking to art students for whom the revolutionary ideas of modernism were an accepted fact, the starting point for their creative development, now as codified as the academic formulas that modernists had rejected. Marguerite agreed with the goal of this proclamation, but took exception with the idea that a dependence on the past was a hallmark only of their age, writing, "I imagine that in all times and ages the majority of people have lived and will live in the past and not the present. Marguerite's solution to this dilemma was typically creative although she continued to paint as time allowed, she devoted increasing energies to making embroidered pictures, or, as she called them "tapestry paintings," which she could work on sporadically. www.tfaoi.com /aa/3aa/3aa85.htm   (10296 words)

Antiques and the Arts Online By the time the Zorachs met in a Paris art class, Marguerite had absorbed the feisty vocabulary of modernism that emphasized spontaneity, pure and often distorted colors and disjointed forms, and had incorporated it into her work. Marguerite's endearing painting of their tiny daughter and the family's majestic fl nanny, "Ellen Madison and Dahlov" (1918) was one of her last works in oil for some time. Marguerite's "Girl with Cat (Dahlov and Tooky)," a 1930 oil, depicts her teenaged daughter with the family feline in an interesting composition. www.antiquesandthearts.com /a2000.asp?a=CoverStory12-24-2001-13-19-01   (3199 words)

York Weekly: The art of nature, the love of family Marguerite Zorach (1887-1968) and William Zorach (1889-1966) lived at a time when modernist art, which was raging in Paris, was introduced to America. Experimenting with form and color, she had a strong design sense, which never left her and infused her art in a variety of media — on canvas, paper and fabric, in which she excelled, and to which she turned after the birth of the couple's two children (needlework could be done in stages, unlike paintings). And, with William Zorach, while I lament the lack of inclusion of a larger body of his very fine watercolors, a medium in which he excelled, I was surprised and delighted to experience some of his earlier oil works. www.seacoastonline.com /2001news/yorkweekly/yw12_12arts1.htm   (1106 words)

SAAM :: Have a Question? Find an Answer Zorach took art classes at the Educational Alliance as a child and quit school at the end of the seventh grade to become an apprentice at a lithography firm. Zorach's paintings in the second decade of this century demonstrate his fascination with Fauvism and Cubism, but ten years of avant-garde experimentation exhausted his enthusiasm and in 1922 he gave up painting for sculpture. Zorach's stone and wood carvings and his work in plaster and terra cotta are stylistically rooted in Egyptian, Greek, and, to some degree, in primitive art. americanart.si.edu /search/artist_bio.cfm?StartRow=1&ID=5567   (775 words)

A Brush with History - Portraits Moore's innovative, witty, and often ironic verse, composed of unconventional metrical schemes and concerned with such no-nonsense virtues as courage, loyalty, and patience, secured for her a leading position among modernist writers of the early twentieth century. Marguerite Zorach, who fell under the spell of Cubism and Fauvism during four influential years in Paris (1908-1912), exhibited her boldly colored works at the notorious Armory Show in 1913, and was in the vanguard of the applied arts with her needlework and textile designs. In this portrait of her friend, Zorach records the poet at an important moment in her rise to fame. www.npg.si.edu /cexh/brush/index/portraits/moore.htm   (182 words)

Marguerite Thompson Zorach - The Temptation Marguerite Zorach (1887-1968) had enrolled at Stanford, but was invited to Paris by her aunt.

Landscape, Marguerite Zorach Zorach's entry in the Armory Show, a portrait simply titled Study, most likely included bold colors, unmixed and straight from the tube, as she used in Landscape (above), one of her many early fauve-inspired paintings. An article written in the New York American emphasizes the non-organic appearance of Zorach's painting: "In the 'study,' by Marguerite Zorach, you see at once that the lady is feeling very, very bad.
