Peri Schwartz is a
New York artist whose work is in American and European
Museum Collections.
“ The precision of the drawing is essential - just as a musician or dancer
uses the structure of the notes, I believe that the discipline of getting the
proportions right brings harmony to the work.”
Peri Schwartz
“ Every artist knows there is no such thing as ‘freedom’ in
art. The first thing an artist does when he begins a new work is to lay down
the barriers and limitations; he decides upon a certain composition, a certain
key, a certain relation of creatures or objects to each other. He is never free,
and the more splendid his imagination, the more intense his feelings, the farther
he goes from general truth and general emotion.”
Willa Cather
