(1) Marguerite Zorach [née Thompson]
(b Santa Rosa, CA, 25 Sept 1887; d New York, 27 June 1968). Painter. She studied briefly at Stanford University (1908), before going to Paris to attend in 1908–11 La Palette, a small modernist school where she met (2) William Zorach; they married in 1912. She also travelled throughout Europe, occasionally with Jessica Dismorr. Both Dismorr and Thompson contributed to the avant-garde publication Rhythm in 1911 and 1912. She returned to Fresno, CA, by way of Italy, Morocco, Egypt, the Middle East and East Asia (1911–12). During the summer of 1912 she spent time in the Sierra Mountains, producing a series of bold Fauvist paintings, including Waterfall (1912; priv. col, see 1973 exh. cat., p. 31), rendered in saturated colours with great spontaneity.
