Art exhibition
Jackson Lee Nesbitt: Prints from the Collection of S. William and Leona Pelletier. Through June 13. Georgia Museum of Art. 542-4662.
An exhibition of prints by Jackson Lee Nesbitt opens at the Georgia Museum of Art March 30. A student of Midwestern regionalist Thomas Hart Benton, Nesbitt’s works of the 1930s and ’40s recall rural life in the Midwest during the Great Depression.
In the 1950s, as interest in regionalism waned, Nesbitt turned to commercial art. When Depression-era art was again appreciated, in the 1980s, Nesbitt returned to printmaking and created a number of lithographs inspired by life in the Midwest.
