American painter and printmaker (born 1951) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Peri Schwartz (October 4, 1951 – May 7, 2021) was an American painter and printmaker.[1] Her work is held in major museums worldwide.
Peri Schwartz was born in Brooklyn, New York, and raised in Far Rockaway, New York. She received her BFA from Boston University College of Fine Arts in 1973[2] and an MFA from Queens College in 1975.
Schwartz's early career concentrated on painting and drawing traditional self-portraits,[3] portraits,[4] and still lifes. In the early 2000s, she began to focus more on her studio as subject.[5] Her works, many of objects from her studio such as tables, books, and paint jars,[6] display prominent angles, shapes and lines. To guide her compositions, Schwartz centered and organized her work on a grid system.[7] In her completed paintings, faint grid lines weave throughout[8] though varied rather than rigid so the work is formal but not stiff.[9]
Schwartz began exhibiting in the United States in the 1990s.[10]
Schwartz lived and worked in New Rochelle, New York.[11] Schwartz passed away on May 7, 2021, in White Plains, New York, at the age of 69.[citation needed]
