==Biography==
Tomás Lasansky was born and raised in Iowa City, Iowa. He is the youngest of six children in a family of visual, literary and performing artists. Tomás developed an early interest in drawing and ceramics and spent most of his childhood making portraits of his older siblings and throwing pots.〔Rory Lasansky, A Son's Perspective, in ''Tomás Lasansky: Icons and Muses'' (Iowa City, IA: 4PeaksPress, 2010), 25.〕 In the mid-1960s when Tomás was still a young boy his father Mauricio Lasansky, who was an artist of great renown in the United States and abroad, introduced him to the printmaking process. In the early 1970s, when Tomás was about fifteen, he began working as his father's printing assistant. At the time, Mauricio was producing some of his largest and most technically complex color prints. This experience enabled Tomás to familiarize himself with many of the fundamental intaglio techniques that he uses today, such as, hard- and soft-ground etching, engraving, aquatint, scraping, and burnishing.〔Charles R. Loving, "Tomás Lasansky," in ''Mauricio and Tomás Lasansky: Father and Son'' (South Bend, IN: Snite Museum of Art, University of Notre Dame, 2014), 12.〕 When Tomás turned eighteen he established his own studio in downtown Iowa City and purchased his first printing press. He attended the University of Iowa after a brief enrollment in a ceramics program at Alfred University in New York. At Iowa, Tomás had yet another opportunity to work alongside his father who at the time was the head printmaking professor. Tomás has stated, while reflecting on his early apprenticeship and formal training at the U of I (B.F.A., 1979; M.A., 1983; and M.F.A., 1984) that he credits his father with training him "to understand what it means to be a professional artist."〔Loving, Tomás Lasansky, 12.〕 In the mid-1980s Tomás met Donita "Charlie" Ann Emmert, an Iowa born artist who would later become his wife. Tomás's work, like Charlie's, is predominately figurative. Both artists share a passion for portraiture and will often, in their own respective styles, create images of the same subject.〔Lasansky, A Son's Perspective, 31.〕 Although Tomás continues to draw and make prints, much of his recent work from the past fifteen years is on canvas. He is best known for his large-scale paintings of important historical icons such as Albert Einstein, Abraham Lincoln, and Geronimo.
