Puerto Rican folk artist
Gregorio Marzán (1906–1997) was a Puerto Rican self-taught artist in New York City. After retiring from toy-making at the age of sixty-five, he created a large variety of sculptures from everyday, common objects. His objects often portray either animals or American patriotic figures, such as many diverse renditions of the Statue of Liberty.
