Peri Schwartz: Reverberations

Reverberations brings together over 50 years of still life pantings, prints, and etchings by Peri Schwartz, who passed away in 2021 after a long battle with cancer. Schwartz played with the scale of her space using bottles and jars set against the backdrop of large blocks of color, which was then set against a window to the exterior of her studio in New Rochelle, NY. In paintings, prints, and drawings, Schwartz explained that she focused on composition and the interplay of color, light, and space. Peri Schwartz’s work can be found in many public and museum collections including the British Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, LACMA, the Harvard Art Museums, the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, the Victoria & Albert Museum, and most recently the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
