On the Grass

Clare Romano was an American printmaker and painter known for her mastery of color woodcut and intaglio techniques developed during the postwar period. Working primarily in relief and etching, she created bold, gestural abstractions and figurative works that demonstrated technical virtuosity across multiple printmaking methods. Romano's practice bridged traditional European printmaking traditions with American modernist abstraction, establishing her as a significant figure in mid-twentieth-century American print culture.
