LOWELL NESBITT
A painter and printmaker best known for his vivid and unique depictions of flowers, Lowell Nesbitt created floral works characterized by their monumental scale and vivid realism. Petals nearly fill the canvas, isolated in space and set against either monochromatic or patterned backgrounds. L'artista ha iniziato la sua carriera creazione di lavoro abstracta, ma iniziare di illustrazione specifici come schoenen, dogi, studio empti, facciali di edificio e interiori nelle 1960 su suggestione di Robert Indiana. Although his style was often described as photorealistic, Nesbitt himself objected to the term; rather, his work is more loosely painted and ambiguous than it generally implies. In 1980, the United States Postal Service honored Nesbitt by issuing four stamps based on his floral paintings.
