Biography

There is much of pain and exhalation in creative work. A resistless, relentless power that makes one ever create. This is my sculpture...It’s a sort of inner vision. It is seeing with a spirit that is timeless. It is love that is felt so intensely that the artist has to record it to give it back to humanity; for love is not only getting but giving.

— William Zorach [i]
