Painter and printmaker Peri Schwartz passes away at age 69
Peri Schwartzs early career concentrated on painting and drawing traditional self-portraits, portraits, and still lifes.
NEW YORK, NY
.- American painter and printmaker Peri Schwartz, whose work is collected in major museums worldwide, died in White Plains, NY on May 7, age 69, from pancreatic cancer. As a remarkably talented artist and dear friend to many, Peris death is a devastating and profound loss to both her family and to the art world that so valued her work. Her paintings, prints and drawings focused on composition and the interplay of color, light and space. Her work is spare but rich, recalled Page Bond, of the Page Bond Gallery in Richmond, Virginia who, with the Gallery Naga in Boston, represented Schwartz. Something about all the grid lines she left in each painting, not hiding them, made her work, thoughtful and smart.
