John Nesbitt – Sculptor

John Nesbitt is one of Canada’s greatest sculptors. Born in Montreal in 1928, he became prominent in art circles in the 1960s. After living in New York for a time, he returned to Canada in the 1970s to live on Cape Breton Island. Since the 1960s, Nesbitt has chosen to avoid public exhibitions in favour of producing a huge body of work outside the commercial environment. However, in the 1980s he is once again exhibiting his work and gaining recognition. “John Nesbitt – Sculptor” is an intimate portrait of the artist at home and at work. The film explores Nesbitt’s work, ideas, and environment. It is a portrait of a man totally dedicated to producing art.
