Join John & Sandy Nesbitt and Christiane Andersson, Guest-Curator, for a gallery talk about the exhibit The Sandy and John Nesbitt Collection: The Discriminating Eye at Work at 2:30 p.m., Tuesday, February 7. Reception at 4:30 p.m. Exhibit runs January 27 – March 29.
Sandy and John Nesbitt, class of ’64, have made their print collection available for this exhibition at the collectors’ alma mater. The Nesbitts were exceptionally kind in agreeing to bring the works to campus for study and to speak about their activities as print collectors. The works on display range from the years around 1500 to the late twentieth century, from the early German printmakers Master MZ and Albrecht Dürer to the Surrealist Joan Mirò and the American realist artist Fairfield Porter. The earliest examples document the beginnings of the medium in early Renaissance Germany, while the latest examples were created only about forty years ago. The greatest masters and most skilled innovators in printmaking, such as Dürer and Rembrandt, are well represented by important 
works. Conversely, some artists who are not at all known for their prints are included, such as Cézanne and Morisot.
