Wayne Thiebaud

Arresting and appetizing, Wayne Thiebaud’s signature paintings of cakes and pies inspire the visceral memory of buttercream frosting. One critic said, “You don’t just want to look at his pictures, you want to lick them.” Now one of America’s most critically acclaimed artists, Thiebaud (American, b. 1920) has long been affiliated with Pop Art, though his body of work is far more expansive. In his Northern California studio and across the decades, Thiebaud has explored various details of 100 years of American life through his luminous, richly textured art—from farm country landscapes and “aerial” cityscapes to figure studies and still lifes of shop windows—all the while continuing to explore the food subjects that brought him international fame.
