Hello Everyone,

I'm having problems identifying the artists of two prints.


 Has anyone heard of these artists:

 J or G Knowlton (sp?) born in Canada?  The piece is a hard-edge abstraction
entitled
"0-II" dated 1969

D. Guardino?  The piece is an etching entitled, "The Nobleman" dated 1976

Thanks for any help you are able to offer!

Monifa Christian
