Description

Instantly recognizable for their sensuous texture and warm, luminous palette, Wayne Thiebaud’s images of cakes, pies, and other ubiquitous store-bought foods brought him to international prominence in the 1960s. His food paintings explore society’s fascination with, and ritualistic treatment of, certain culinary items; Thiebaud paints what he has called the “tattletale signs” of our culture. Thiebaud’s formidable talents run to a wide range of other subjects, including figure studies, “aerial” landscapes, and eerily vertiginous cityscapes, but the images selected for reproduction in this notecard set concentrate on his skewed, good-humored, pensive take on the sweet stuff. Contains five each of the following notecards: Cake Window (Seven Cakes), 1970–1976 Candy Counter, 1969 Cakes and Pies, 1995 Suckers and Sweets, 2000

Artist

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.

I give 5 stars to any of Pomegranate notecards! They are so artful and beautiful! Wish they would have “David Lance Goines” poster art on cards! Especially the ones for Chez !

Thiebaud’s use of color always highlights his choice of subject matter in addition to his unique viewpoint and perspective. I love sharing these enriching images in a quality card with my friends and family.

Love Wayne Thiebaud

I ordered several different sets of Wayne Thiebaud cards to use as birthday cards. The individual cards were identical but MUCH pricier. As usual, Pomegranate had such great cards to choose from. Ordering was easy and delivery was timely.
