Lot description
Evidence of Modern Pop era confrontational imagery, with a salute to 17th century Dutch Old Masters is evidenced in this late 1970s sensuous photorealist painting of numerous red flowers. Nesbitt's abilities as an artist are perfectly captured in "Island of Red Flowers." This painting is in excellent condition with a signature, title, and date on the back.

Known for his poetic and realistic floral still-life pictures, American realist painter Lowell Nesbitt (1933-1993) confronts the viewer with the delicately crafted ruffles of his favorite subject, floral blooms. Nesbitt's floral-themed works are his most well-known series. He has numerous public collections at world renowned establishments including the Museum of Modern Art, New York, NY, National Art Gallery, Washington DC and Philadelphia Museum of Art, Philadelphia, PA, among others.
