Signed William Zorach (Lithuanian/American, 1887 - 1966). 'New England Landscape View'. Original watercolor painting on paper, circa 1920's. Signed lower right, 'Zorach'.

William Zorach is known for abstract sculpture, modernist landscape and figure painting. While in Paris he was greatly influenced by the cubist and fauvist movements there and had several paintings exhibited at the salon d'automme. This influence and subsequent success fueled his career back in the states where he was honored with his first one-man exhibition. After meeting his future wife, noted artist Marguerite Zorach in paris, he established a studio in new york and shortly after they were married. The couple immediately began to collaborate artistically. Both entered artwork in the 1913 armory show. Their success continued as both were invited to participate in the 1916 forum exhibition of modern american painters. Both William and Marguerite were heavily influenced by cubism and fauvism and they are credited as being among the premiere artists to introduce european modernist styles to american modernism.

Zorach frequently displayed his paintings in gallery shows in venues such as the society of independent artists and the whitney studio club. While Marguerite began to experiment with textiles and created large, fine art tapestries and hooked rugs, William began to experiment with sculpture, which would become his primary medium. In 1923 the couple moved to maine, which allowed them to explore and depict the region.

William Zorachs works can be found in numerous private, corporate, and public collections including the smithsonian american art museum, the museum of fine arts, boston, the metropolitan museum of art, the whitney museum of art, the currier museum of art, among others.
