About the Item
Original oil painting on canvas, 1970. Size: 72 x 108 inches. Signed, titled, dated on verso. Provenance: Andrew Crispo Gallery, New York, NY. Notes: This is one of the resulting lunar paintings from Lowell Nesbitt’s commission as the official artist for the NASA Apollo 13 space mission. In 1969, artist Lowell Nesbitt was invited by NASA to create artwork to commemorate the Apollo 9 mission–the first flight of the full Apollo spacecraft that would eventually take humans to the Moon later that year during the Apollo 11 mission. Based on his time at Cape Canaveral, Nesbitt produced a portfolio of prints that was on view during this special exhibition. Taking away the mundane aspects of the enormous operation that is space flight, these prints capture the pure excitement, anticipation, and awe that people felt in 1969 at the prospect of space flight–feelings that deserve to be remembered and rekindled today. Lowell Nesbitt (1933-1993) was a painter, draftsman, printmaker, and sculptor most closely associated with the Photorealist art movement of the 1970s and notable for the breadth of subjects he depicted throughout his career. Among his contemporaries, he showed an early interest in electronics and computer parts as artistic subject matter, and he was commissioned by NASA to commemorate the Apollo 9 and Apollo 13 space missions
LOWELL NESBITT (1933-1993) One of the most celebrated and most noted for his floral works of art. An artist with a highly personal style, Nesbitt made realistic studies of many themes throughout his career. His most well known series, and perhaps his most beautiful and poetic, are the more than four hundred works he created using the flower as theme. Since his first show in 1957, Nesbitt has had more than eighty one man shows. His painting, drawings and prints are included in the collections of many prestigious museums such as the Metropolitan Museum of Fine Art in New York, and the National Gallery of Fine Art in Washington, D.C.
