1980s large and intense "Encender" serigraph numbered 26/200 and signed in pencil by American artist Mary Jane Schmidt (acrylics, 1941- ). Gold-tone metal frame has a couple light bump marks and holds lightweight plexiglass. Frame measures 4'2" W x 3'2" H x 1.25" D with a 42" x 30" mount. A painter and printmaker, Schmidt studied art at the University of Wisconsin as well as the Academie Julian in Paris. She now resides in Minneapolis and paints every day. "Technically, I strive for movement and spontaneity, for color that is interesting as well as unusual," she says. "I include surprises for my viewers that are not apparent at first glance and are only seen upon closer inspection."
