"Lowell Nesbitt … was best known for gargantuan images of irises, roses, lilies and other flowers, which he often depicted in close up so that their petals seemed to fill the canvas. Dramatic, implicitly sexual and a little ominous, they earned the artist popularity with the general public that tended to overshadow his reputation within the art world." The New York Times, obituary by Roberta Smith, July 10, 1993.
