Marguerite Thompson Zorach
Nude Reclining, 1922
In 1908, Zorach attended the Salon d'Automne in Paris, where French fauve artists Henri Matisse and Andre Derain exhibited their bold paintings with simplified shapes and intense colors. Zorach enrolled in the progressive art school, La Palette, in Paris and became one of the first American modernists to work in the fauve and cubist styles. She was also one of the few women included in the 1913 Armory Show in New York, a watershed exhibition of modern art in America. |
