Description: Marguerite Thompson Zorach was an innovator of the American modernist movement. She helped introduce fauvist and cubist styles to the United States. After traveling extensively in Egypt, Palestine, India and Japan, she returned home to produce brilliantly colored Fauvist landscapes with thick black outlines. Her style developed and included more Cubist structure until she turned to creating embroidered tapestries after the birth of her two children. While she continued to paint and assist her husband, William Zorach, on larger projects, her main focus was on these tapestries.
