Roman was born in Rostov, Russia in 1900. Upon the rise of Lenin, in 1922, the Chatov family fled for New York. At this time Roman had prepared drawings for backstage productions which had appeared in Russian theatre magazines. President Roosevelt’s Works Project Administration (WPA) commissioned Roman to paint murals for the Ford and Palestinian Pavilions at the 1939 New York World’s Fair which led to many more commissioned murals throughout the country.
