Field Studies to Paintings: 50 Years of Keith Jacobshagen
August 29, 2025 - November 1, 2025Opening Reception: August 29th, 2025 from 5-8 pm.
For more than five decades, Keith Jacobshagen has packed up his sketchbooks, paints, pastels and pencils and driven the country roads around Lincoln, stopping to record views of the landscape that captured his eye.
Returning to his studio, Jacobshagen has pieced together those views, replicating some, combining others, adding elements and deleting features to create the acclaimed landscapes that made him Nebraska’s premier painter.
This exhibition of more than 100 pieces focuses on that process, pairing, for the first time, an extensive selection of sketchbook pages with finished paintings from across Jacobshagen’s career.
