Biography: Born in Santa Rosa, CA on Sept. 25, 1887, Marguerite Thompson Zorach was raised in Fresno and showed artistic promise at age three. A brilliant student, she was one of the first women admitted to Stanford University in 1908. Shortly after her enrollment, she was lured to Paris by an aunt who was living there. She studied art for four years in Paris and, while there, met her future husband William Zorach. Returning to Fresno in 1912, she camped with her family in the Sierra Madre and did a series of paintings of that area. The following year, she returned to NYC, married Zorach, and lived in Brooklyn for her remaining years. A pioneer in modern art, she was one of the few young artists to introduce Fauvist and Cubist styles to the U.S. between 1910-20. The Zorachs made another trip to Yosemite in 1920. She died in Brooklyn on June 27, 1968.
