William Zorach (February 28, 1889 – November 15, 1966)[1] was an American sculptor, painter, printmaker, and writer.

[5] While in Paris, Zorach met Marguerite Thompson (1887–1968), an art student and fellow American, whom he married on December 24, 1912, in New York City.

[5] During the next seven years, Zorach established himself as a painter, frequently displaying his paintings in gallery shows as venues such as the Society of Independent Artists and the Whitney Studio Club.

[5] While the Zorach family spent their winters in New York, their summers were divided between New Hampshire and Massachusetts.

[5] Notably, they spent a few summers in Plainfield, New Hampshire at the Cornish Art Colony, renting Echo Farm which was owned by their friend and fellow artist Henry Fitch Taylor.

[10] In 1923, the Zorach family purchased a farm on Georgetown Island, Maine where they resided, worked, and entertained guests.
