"Father, Son and Daughter, " Rare and Charming Bronze Relief Sculpture by Zorach

About the Item

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 he sculpted for Radio City Music Hall, which excited both admiration and consternation, causing it to be removed from public view for many years. This piece is signed, and is ready for hanging.
