 祖父李遏非公毕业于北京法政学堂，曾任湖南省高等法院民事庭长和推事，公余喜爱诗、书、画。父亲李伯元公系北京朝阳大学高材生，不幸英年早逝。母亲文泽清家教优娴，乐善好施。李立原名心挚，因自幼爱石成痴，自号石庵，在求学期间，因欲求自立，遂更名李立，号立翁。
 李立研习金石书画已逾半个世纪，18岁时曾将其初生牛犊之作寄呈白石老人，后经白石大师点拨，李立走上了法古师今，博采众长，独辟蹊径，自造门户的道路，形成了章法严谨，结体合度，刚劲简练，古朴雄奇的风格。在书法上，李立擅长甲骨、钟鼎、小篆、铁线、竹简。用笔遒劲，风格古雅浑朴，苍老挺拔独具匠心。李立的花鸟画，不但发扬了"以形写神"的传统，又具有浓郁的时代气息，所画水仙、红梅、荷花、杜鹃均飘逸脱俗。80年代以来，他曾多次为党和国家领导人，世界文化名流以及日本前首相竹下登等刻印。由于他不画印稿，以刀代笔，刻削如泥，顷刻而成，故有“神刀”之美誉。其作品与王福庵、齐白石、邓散木等前辈一并被选入日本出版的《现代中国著名印人三十二家》。力作《毛主席诗词印谱选》、《李立金石书画集》、《文天祥正气歌》先后在国内和香港出版。作品饮誉五大洲20多个国家和地区，他的名字和传记已收入美国出版的《世界5000名人辞典》和英国出版的三本文献：《世界著名知识分子辞典》、《国际名人传记辞典》、《成就卓著名人辞典》。 为此，中央电视台1995年5月11日在《东方之子》专栏对李立作了专题报道。其作品相继在香港、台湾、日本、泰国举办个人展览，深获好评。
