Summary
"Mauricio Lasansky (1914–2014) is one of the fathers of twentieth-century American printmaking, having taught printmaking at the University of Iowa for forty years. His work can be found in private collections and in over 140 museums nationwide, as well as in Europe and in Latin America. During his long career he had more than 250 solo shows in thirty-five countries and he received six honorary doctorate of arts degrees. While his son Tomás Lasansky (b. 1957) studied at the University of Iowa (B.F.A., 1979; M.A., 1983; and M.F.A., 1984), his art education began much earlier. As a five-year-old, he made drawings depicting his parents' African art collection, worked in clay and wax, and made prints alongside his father. The youngest in a family of visual, literary, and performing artists, he grew up mingling with artists and visiting art museums. Indeed, Tomás Lasansky asserts that he was raised in a museum--a reference to his parents' extensive collection of art from many cultures. Tomás Lasansky's work is deeply influenced by his classical, academic training--one could argue that he served a traditional apprenticeship with a master artist. He credits his father with helping him 'to understand what it is to be a professional artist'"--Provided by publisher.
