for Lowell Blair Nesbitt
Lowell Blair Nesbitt
born Baltimore, Maryland, 1933; died New York, New York, 1993
Nesbitt worked in abstraction until Robert Indiana suggested in the early 1960s that he explore realism in his paintings. As subjects for his work he favored studio interiors, articles of clothing, piles of shoes and other mundane subjects.
His first solo exhibition was mounted at the Baltimore Museum of Art in 1958 and during his lifetime he had more than 130 solo exhibitions of his work at various galleries, museums, and universities, including the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Kent State University, the McNay Art Museum, the Butler Institute of American Art, the Burpee Art Museum, and the Tyler Gallery at Temple University. He has been widely collected by both museum, corporate, and private collectors across the country.
