In going through some drawers recently I came upon this group of prints below by Carl from the early 1970's. They are all bon-a-tirer prints (right to print) lithographs from Landfall Press that Lakeside purchased directly from them in the mid '70's. A bon-a-tirer print is the final print pulled before it is decided that the plate is "done" and is ready to use to pull the edition. All the following are from this series.

Mr. Schwartz is a realist whose work shows an influence of both abstract expressionism and cubism. An interest in the effects of light assumes a central importance in Carl's work and he states, "I am a painter of light. I'm intrigued and fascinated with form. To me there are two worlds...the one we live in...and the one that I create. Painting is the discipline by which I constantly rediscover both of these worlds."

Mr. Schwartz taught figure drawing and painting for almost 30 years, and in 1984 he moved permanently to Florida. Only recently has he returned to teaching at the Edison Community College and Florida Gulf Coast University and is experiencing much enjoyment and satisfaction in watching the growth of young artist.
