Unframed, two-color 1965 "Faces" lithograph signed and hand-pulled by Edina, Minnesota artist Georgean Hellman (later Swartz, b. 1945). In this intriguing piece numbered 1 of 5, the image has been run through twice in a deep cobalt blue and then black, the second time upside down. After a handful of imprints were made, the stone was destroyed. A light impression can be seen around the color block and above the signature. Cardstock measures 14.75" x 19". For several decades now after studying art at the University of Minnesota, Swartz has bent her many creative talents to making, collecting and selling mostly modern art as a dealer and at her own gallery. She has taught community ed and also designs home interiors, clothing and jewelry.
