Sculptor William Zorach, whose thickish handiwork stands in eight leading U.S. museums, got an offer from the state of Mississippi, turned it down the same day.

He still cocks a collector's eye at new pictures: a good new American can even lure him out of his summer fastness at Chautauqua, N.Y., where he has sailed his boats and presided over the Board of Trustees since...
