‘William Zorach (1889-1966) was born in Lithuania & brought to Ohio in 1891, moved to New York City in 1912. An artist who ceased oil painting in 1922, having discovered that sculpture suited him better; he tried to let the stone or wood take its own shape, whether in large public monuments or in smaller works. Zorach took art classes at the Educational Alliance as a child & quit school at the end of the seventh grade to become an apprentice at a lithography firm. From 1905 to 1908 he studied drawing & painting at the Cleveland School of Art, then spent two years at the National Academy of Design in New York. In 1922 he gave up painting for sculpture. Zorach’s stone & wood carvings & his work in plaster & terra cotta are stylistically rooted in Egyptian, Greek, and, to some degree, in primitive art. Highly successful throughout much of his life, Zorach received many commissions, including Spirit of Dance for Radio City Music Hall.’ https://poulwebb.blogspot.com/2021_01_10_archive.html

'Howard graduated from the University of California at Berkeley in 1921 as a journalism major, and pursued graduate studies in English at Harvard & Columbia Universities before embarking on a two-year trip to Europe. He went as a would-be writer but near-religious experiences with European art persuaded him to become a painter. Howard was part of a group of American & European Surrealists clustered around Julien Levy. Levy opened his eponymously-named gallery in 1931, and rose to fame in January 1932, when he organised and hosted Surrealisme, the first ever exhibition of Surrealism in America, which included one work by Howard. In 1934 Howard married British painter Madge Knight & moved to London, England. Prior to the outbreak of WWII London was a centre for all types of international avant-garde artists. ... they subsequently lived in the Bay Area, England again, and finally Italy.’ https://poulwebb.blogspot.com/2021/01/fortune-magazine-part-4.html
