Three loose, limited edition linocuts hand-pulled, embellished and signed by Edina, Minnesota, artist Georgean Hellman Swartz (b. 1945). One, with hand-colored brown leaves on buff rice paper, is marked 1974, 5/150 and "Proof." A second, with hand-colored green leaves on an almost clothlike white rice paper (sides wrinkled at one point), is marked 1976 and 17/150. The third, a monotone on less porous buff rice paper, is also marked 1976. The image with signature on each is 17" W x 22" H. 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.
