Wayne Thiebaud: 70 Years of Painting
Wayne Thiebaud, the California-based painter, has produced works of complexity and distinction that appear deceptively simple in terms of subject matter and in their presentation yet draw on many historical sources.
The works in the exhibition are comprised of a range of media, including acrylic, charcoal, graphite, oil and watercolor on board, canvas and paper.
Featuring the pairings of more than 50 paintings, this book shows the connection of these two artists like never before.
Initially identified, by the subject of these works, with American Pop artists, Thiebaud has since shifted his attention to other subjects ranging from the figure to landscape.
In Episodes with Wayne Thiebaud, Eve Aschheim and Chris Daubert interview Wayne Thiebaud in four extensive conversations in his studio.
