Born in 1887 in Lithuania, William Zorach emigrated to Cleveland, Ohio, with his family at age 4. He is largely credited for changing the trend towards academia and Neo-classical tendencies that existed in American sculpture at the turn of the century. By the third decade of the 20th century, Zorach was regarded as one of America's premier sculptors and was honored with multiple commissions and exhibitions including shows at the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Art istitute of Chicago. Zorach died is Bath, Maine, in 1966.
