Nesbitt’s mentors included Thomas Hart Benton, one of the leading artists in the regionalist movement, characterized by realistic depictions of everyday scenes from the American Midwest and Deep South. Nesbitt created numerous prints commissioned by steel, manufacturing, and oil companies in addition to his many genre etchings.
