About the Item
Lowell Nesbitt's paintings are in most major museum collections. He is the artist that NASA selected to commemorate the Apollo Moon missions over 50 years ago.
In the 1950s he dabbled in Abstract Expressionism for a short time. However, It wasn’t until 1962, that he created his first large scale, realist, flower painting at the suggestion of friend and founding Pop artist, Robert Indiana. that Nesbitt began his journey to become one of America’s most financially and critically successful artists.
Throughout the 1960’s Nesbitt explored a wide range of subjects for his paintings including flowers, landscapes, architecture, animals and many others. In addition to his financial and critical success of the early to mid 1960s which included many important museum exhibitions and commissions, it was the late 1960s and onward that brought Nesbitt’s career to the next level. NASA commissioned him to create paintings of the moon based on two Apollo moon missions. and later he became the official artist for the United States Department of Interior and the United States Navy. Nesbitt was also commissioned to create four flower paintings that were used as postage stamps by the United States Postal Service.
This oil on Canvas painting titled "Nocturnal Yellow Lotus" was painted in 1981. It is instantly recognizable as a classic Lowell Nesbitt painting. Canvas size is 20x20" it is framed with a simple artist strip frame measuring approx. 21x21"

Lowell Nesbitt
Lowell Nesbitt was one of the most celebrated and noted artists for his floral works of art. An artist with a highly personal style, he 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 a theme. Beginning with his first show in 1957, Nesbitt had more than 80 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.
