William Zorach Furniture
American, 1887-1966
Born in 1887, by 1930, he was one of America’s premier 20th century sculptors and was honored with multiple commissions and exhibitions including at the Art Institute of Chicago, the Dallas Museum of Fine Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and numerous others.
He studied in New York City at the National Academy of Design and also in Paris under the mentoring of Jacques-Emile Blanche. It was in Paris in the first decade of the 20th century where Zorach’s path crossed with Marguerite, his soon to be wife. Both Marguerite and William were both represented in the landmark Armory Show of 1913.
William continued to paint for the next two decades, but increasingly experimenting with sculpture. By the mid 20’s he was carving significant works in marble and stone. By the early 30’s, he abandoned painting entirely in favor of a new art form, sculpture. I t was in sculpture that Zorach found his true voice as an artist and achieved considerable success. “Sculpture, direct carving, was an expanding universe, a liberation and a natural form of expression to me.” Zorach stated.

"Father, Son and Daughter, " Rare and Charming Bronze Relief Sculpture by Zorach
By William Zorach
Located in Philadelphia, PA
Beautifully sculpted and realized in bronze with a warm, deep brown patina, this relief panel by William Zorach depicts a father directly facing the viewer, embracing his son and daughter who are both engrossed in the care of a long-tailed bird. Zorach was renowned for his sculptures of the American family in different configurations, and he also loved depicting the house cat in different poses, all of which gave evidence of his love of domestic life in the 1930s. The artist was born in Lithuania, grew up in Cleveland, and spent much of his life in New England with his wife, Marguerite Zorach, an important artist in her own right. Although Zorach was a painter as well as a sculptor, he may be best known for a large female nude...
