About this Item
Softcover. Sm 4to (11" x 8"). 49 pp. Obituary of William Zorach published in The Sunday Telegram (Portland ME) and an invitation to the "unveiling of The Spirit of the Sea" by Zorach and the Bath Garden Club laid in. CONDITION: Very good, covers lightly toned, text clear, images bright. Sculptor William Zorach (1887-1966), a Lithuanian Jew, trained in Paris, exhibited in New York City, and by 1923 moved to Robinhood Cove on Georgetown Island, Maine, where he would reside for the remainder of his life. According to his obituary, "at his best, Zorach, through simplification of form and monumentality, dealt with life's poetry, love, childhood, and the beauty of living things.His involvement with the State of Maine was a continuous one. Both the animals in many of his pieces and the stone to carve them were often found on his Robinhood farm. His gifts to the City of Bath including the statue 'The Spirit of the Sea,' which stands in the city park, and to various museums in the state are well known. Bowdoin and Bates conferred honorary degrees on him. His wife, Marguerite, and his daughter, Dahlov Ipcar, both of Robinhood, are painters with broad reputations.". Seller Inventory # 8911
