Marguerite Thompson Zorach (1887 - 1968) was an American fauvist painter, textile artist, graphic designer, and was an early exponent of modernism in America. For over 50 years, William and Marguerite Zorach were an integral part of the Twentieth Century American art scene. Marguerite not only expressed her talents through her embroideries, and paintings, but applied them to the decor of their living quarters, as well as the clothing she designed for herself, and her family, right down to the stockings that her daughter wore. Marguerite won the Logan Medal of the arts. She often referred to as the "first woman artist of California".
