Márta Lacza (born December 2, 1946) is a Hungarian graphic artist and portrait painter.
She was born in the Csepel district of Budapest in 1946.[1] In 1967, she graduated from Fine Arts High School and then studied from 1970 to 1974 at the Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts under Simon Sarkantyú[2] and Károly Raszler.[3] Since then, she has had numerous solo exhibitions at home and abroad, and her works have been shown in London, Hamburg, Eindhoven, Ghent, Copenhagen and Athens.[3][4]
She was awarded a Derkovits Scholarship (1980–1983)[3] and won the Munkácsy Prize in 1983.[2][3][5] A 40-minute television programme about her, titled A Tv galériája. Lacza Márta grafikusművész (The TV gallery. Lacza Martha graphic artist), was broadcast on Magyar Televízió, the Hungarian national public broadcaster, in March 1982.[6]
She took part in the first "Frans Masereel Rijkscentrum voor graphite" international graphic artists' colony in Belgium, and was called back every year for fourteen years.[1] She also participated in the work of Atelier Nord in Norway.[1]
She is known for her oil paintings, drawings in pencil or chalk,[7] etchings and illustrations for many books.[1] Her work is described as combining mood, thought creativity and personal vision with "unmatched skill and preparedness coupled with outstanding craftmanship".[8] Her paintings show "mysterious, sometimes almost bizarre figures" that "provoke emotion from observers."[8]
Her illustrations have been published in a number of books, including the Hungarian translation of the Anne of Green Gables series of children's books by Lucy Maud Montgomery translated by Katalin Szűr-Szabó,[9] and books of Hungarian folktales such as The Silver King's Flute by Zsigmond Móricz,[10] and The Tree That Reached the Sky.[11] She and her husband also illustrated academic volumes such as Hajdú-Bihar megye 10-11. századi sírleletei,[12] and The late neolithic of the Tisza region (1987).[13]
Her autobiography, Élet és Művészet (Life and Art), was published in Budapest in 2007.[14]
She and her husband, artist Dékány Ágoston (died 28 August 2015[15]), lived and worked in the Csepel district of Budapest.[8]
