Marguerite Zorach was an American modernist painter and textile artist active in the early twentieth century. Working across oil painting, watercolor, and hand-dyed fabrics, she developed a bold, gestural approach to abstraction that engaged with Cubist and Fauvist principles. Her career spanned several decades of artistic innovation in both fine art and decorative practice, establishing her as a significant figure in American modernism.
