Two 1970s framed linocuts hand-embellished and signed by Edina, Minnesota artist Georgean Hellman Swartz. The black and white prints with hand-applied brown are titled "The Apple" and "The Lemon," respectively, in the lower left. Each black wood frame (one has a couple rubs) is 12.25" W x 13" H, with a 6.25" W x 6.75" H image area surrounded in black and then sienna matting. After studying art at the University of Minnesota, Swartz made, collected and dealt in art, designer clothing, artistic jewelry and interior design for several decades, mixing with many great artists of our time. She runs her own gallery in St. Louis Park, MN. Her fruit series reflects a lifelong fascination with bold contrasts on black.
