Marguerite Zorach presents its mountainous features in somewhat abstract terms, but the structure and shape of the iconic Yosemite Falls at the center is unmistakable. During the summer of 1920, Zorach and her husband William traveled to Yosemite National Park, where she produced a group of watercolors. The work of William Zorach is also featured in this exhibition. Gift of the artist 63.70.45
