		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.

		The placement of William’s hands is probably meant to suggest him drawing support from her; it’s unlikely she meant to portray him as “keeping her down.” Still, Marguerite’s career was affected when she assumed her motherly duties, and the catalog essays describe how recognition from critics and curators increasingly focused on William.
		William came into his own as a sculptor in the 1920s, and as family life drew Marguerite away from her own art, he was freer to describe the new dynamics of their home in his work.
		The Zorachs’ two children were raised unconventionally, with maximum creative freedom, and their daughter, Dahlov Ipcar, became an artist.

		William relied on his wife's mastery of design to produce the preliminary sketch upon which the sculpture was based.
		William enjoyed this laborious process, relishing the manner in which the particular qualities of the stone or wood dictated the shapes of finished pieces.
		William's "Mother and Child" 91922), a touching mahogany evocation of an embracing mother and infant, and "New Horizon's" (1951), a bronze inspired by spotting his daughter-in-law Peggy Zorach sitting on a Maine beach with one of her young sons lying across her knees, reflect his mastery of subject and medium.

	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.
		William Zorach's fellow traveler and, at times, guide on this odyssey into the uncharted terrain of a new art was Marguerite Thompson, an artist who became his wife and lifelong creative partner.
		By their own accounts the Zorachs shared many of the responsibilities of domestic life and were not overly fastidious about housekeeping; however, it was the late 1910s, a time when the care of young children fell largely to women, and Marguerite felt the impact of that reality.

	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.
		Additionally, the monumentality William transmits in some of his sculptures is also apparent in a work such as Marguerite's "Ella Madison and Dahlov," which depicts an immense fl woman, the "nanny," deliberately out of proportion and holding a fragile diminutive child, her little daughter.
		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.

		In Zorach’s utopian vision of nudes in a landscape, rhythmical shapes and colors symbolize the integration of figures and nature, while flowering phallic and egg shapes hint at nature’s fecundity, a metaphor for artistic creation.
		William Sommer’s modernist paintings, also employing radical distortions of form and color, were inspired by more than aesthetic concerns.
		That view is contradicted by the emergence in northeast Ohio of new modernists, such as William Grauer (1896–1985) and Vicktor Schreckengost (b.1906), during the interwar period.

		Zorach rarely carved in alabaster, a soft, semitranslucent stone which was commonly used by his fellow sculptor, Robert Laurent.
		During the 1920s William Zorach was one of few American sculptors who carved directly in stone by preparing models in clay which were transferred into stone by professional carvers.
		(Zorach sometimes placed erroneous dates on his sculpture.) The artist’s son recalls that the stone was purchased in Boston in the summer of 1922.

	American Fauves
		Considered one of the most significant works in the exhibition, it is a watershed painting by one of the first American artists to effect drastic change in his aesthetic as a result of head-on exposure to Matisse's art.
		Rice's interest in Fauve painter Andre Derain is exemplified in the work entitled "Ajaccio, Corse." Her passionate reaction to the Corsican countryside is reflected in the rhythmic form and brilliant, jewel-like patterning of color, which garnered her strong, critical acclaim by both the British and French press.

		The Zorachs jointly created embroideries (a medium that would continue to be an area of innovation in Marguerite's art) and each developed works from designs created by the other.
		Significantly, when William first began to explore sculpture -- which would become his primary creative medium -- it was with Marguerite at his side as they both experimented with carving wood panels and modeling clay.

	William Zorach's "Victory"
		William Zorach conceived a sculpture entitled "Victory" that shows an indebtedness to the works of the late classical fourth century B.C..
		It bears some resemblance to the idealized images of Venus, combined with a figural attitude of flight that is perhaps derived from the twisting torso of the conceptions of flight in the Winged Victory of Samothrace.
		This is why I prefer strict geometrical shapes and mathematically perfect images to some of the more "free form" representations.
