Halicka, Alice
Polish painter and illustrator, 1895-1975, active in France
Travels to Paris and lives there from 1912. Married the Polish painter and printmaker Louis Marcoussis in 1913. They travel to Scandinavia, Switzerland, Spain, England, and Tangiers. The style of Halicka's work was always in flux. Around 1920, she introduces Jewish iconography and subject matter to her work. She and her husband spent WWII in exile in unoccupied France, near Vichy. Halicka published a memoir in 1946, "Hier, Souvenirs," that includes illustrations by Marcoussis of their contemporaries, including many Surrealists.
