Have Some Pity on an Easterner, Right (Airport) Print by Kenton Nelson
Limited edition signed Giclee prints of Kenton Nelson’s “Have Some Pity on an Easterner, Left and Right” are available. This was a diptych he painted in 1997. We have printed and released a small edition of only 16 prints of each, so they are very rare and special. Warm, rich colors, and the figures in this classic airport scene show a moment frozen in time. Like many of Nelson’s works, it tells a story…

From the artist’s perspective: “These were some of my first figurative paintings, and they are about unrequited love. The main characters are on time, but there has been a confusion as to transportation. In the left panel, the serviceman represents a new possibility of relationship, and in the second panel, the man checks his watch, to avoid temptation. The title was taken from a line of a Gershwin song. The art director of The New Yorker saw the second image in my portfolio, and it became my first cover for the magazine, in 1999.” - Kenton Nelson
