'''Lillian F. Schwartz''' (born 1927) is a 20th-century American [[artist]] considered a pioneer of computer-mediated art and one of the first artists notable for basing almost her entire oeuvre on computational media.

Many of her ground-breaking projects were done in the 1960s and 1970s, well before the desktop computer revolution made computer hardware and software widely available to artists.

Schwartz used the works of [[Leonardo da Vinci]] extensively in experiments with computers. One notable work she created is ''Mona/Leo'', for which she compared the image of a Leonardo da Vinci self-portrait with the Mona Lisa, matching the two faces feature by feature to show their underlying structural similarity.

Schwartz has been called a pioneer in "establishing computers as a valid and fruitful artistic medium" by physicist and Nobel laureate [[Arno Penzias]] and a trailblazer and virtuoso by the philosopher-artist [[Timothy Binkley]].
