“July 3rd,” Nelson Shanks, oil on canvas, 72x30 inches, 1983 (censored for IG).
.

Nelson’s mother, Berniece Scott Shanks, who first instilled in him a great passion for collecting antiques and artistic connoisseurship, died on July 3rd, 1983. In his grief Nelson created a painting that expressed his devastation, right at the time he was fully discovering his soul’s true language: boldly prismatic humanist realism, depicting the figure of the female nude as the highest power.
