WILLIAM ZORACH
Deer Isle.

Watercolor and pencil on cream wove paper mounted on board. 315x405 mm; 12 1/2x16 inches. Signed in black ink, lower right recto.

Zorach (1887-1966) worked as both a sculptor and watercolorist at the vanguard of American modernism, after studying in Paris in the early 1910s and his inclusion in the famous Armory Show of 1913. Zorach and his wife, fellow artist Marguerite Thompson, purchased a farm on Georgetown Island, Maine, and split their time between their farm and New York home.
