Lica Roman

Lica Roman - La Famille The Family

La Famille (The Family)

Lica Roman's original edition of aquatints, La Famille, was published in New York by the Associated American Artists in a limited edition of one hundred impressions. What is remarkable is that the artist has altered each impression by employing different colors, tones and hues, and thus has created one hundred individual works of art. One is reminded of an old, slightly out of focus family photograph (perhaps even a daguerreotype) that seems somewhat different each time one studies it. Two impressions -- #10 and #99 -- are illustrated below. Comparing the two impressions one sees constant flux and change, as if this old family portrait has somehow caught fleeting spirit forms. La Famille is a truly impressive work of art.

Note:	Lica Roman: Lica Steinberg Roman (also known as Lica Roman) studied art techniques at the Academia de Arte Frumoase in Lasi, Romania (1958), and finished her education at the Bucharest Academy and in London. During her career she worked in such cities as Prague, Bucharest, Budapest, Moscow and Sofia, and eventually settled in Paris. In the French capital Lica Roman was a member of and exhibited her art with the 'Femme-Peintre' group. She also worked as a printmaker at Paris's Atelier 17.
	Lica Roman was the elder sister of the famous American cartoonist and illustrator, Saul Steinberg (1914-1999). His correspondence with Lica Roman is included in the collection of the Saul Steinberg Papers at the Yale University Library.
	La Famille was published in New York in 1976. As Lica Roman passed away in the preceding year it is possible the edition was printed by her in Paris for future shipment to the American publisher.
	La Famille was published by the Associated American Artists of New York. The A.A.A. was created in the mid 1930’s and commissioned original graphic art from such great American masters as Grant Wood, Thomas Hart Benton, Reginald Marsh and many others. In later decades its American artists included Jack Levine, Marion Greenwood, Sidney Chafetz and Chaim Gross as well as a number of international artists such as Lica Roman.
