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.

“Today, no excuses. SUNY and CUNY boards will require vaccinations for all in-person students coming back to school in the fall,” he said.
“If you must have a vaccine, get it now if you have to get it anyway. I also encourage private schools to do the same thing. Let’s make a global statement: you cannot go back to school in person in September unless you have a vaccine,” he added.
The mandate affects about 424,000 SUNY students and 274,000 CUNY students.
The governor noted vaccinations could only be mandated for students if the vaccines receive approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) before the fall semester. Currently, vaccines in the U.S. are being distributed under emergency authorization. Pfizer and BioNTech last week requested full approval from the FDA. It’s unclear when exactly approval would be granted.
