Wayne Thiebaud is one of the worlds most popular and respected painters. Born in 1920  he has lived for most of his life in Sacramento  with much of his youth spent in Long Beach; Southern California  in particular Laguna Beach  remains an area of great sentimentality. For this book he has selected the works himself  an act of autobiography in a sense. At age 94  he looked back over his life and his work  rich with breakthroughs in painting and masterful individuality. This deluxe volume  with more than 200 illustrations  covers Thiebauds career as a painter and draftsman from 1959 to 2014. It features many of the still lifes of pies  cakes  desserts  candies  and other objectslusciously painted  brightly colored  perfectly composed  and gently comicfor which he is best known. Such works brought national recognition in 1962 with a seminal exhibition at the Allan Stone Gallery in New York  attracting rave reviews and  to the discomfort of the artist himself  leading critics to see him as part of the Pop Art movement. The other artistic genres that he cultivated most avidly since then are landscape and cityscape  with special interests in the Sacramento River valley and San Francisco. New essays by a wide range of writers give a fresh perspective on his life and work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45789812293685,"sku":"ByrdShop_0847846164","price":430.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780847846160.jpg?v=1784700032","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/wayne-thiebaud-9780847846160","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
