For me this is a fleck of a click together with salivate post!  In all honesty written exclusively for me - for looking at from fourth dimension to fourth dimension - rather than sharing amongst whatever of y'all - but y'all tin expect too! ;)

• In an An Eye for Art produced past times the National Gallery inwards Washington - y'all tin read online (or download the pdf file together with read later) about he produced his artwork
• The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art has a prissy collection of industrial plant of fine art past times Thiebaud
• Christies provides a prissy video of a Studio visit: Wayne Thiebaud - inwards which he 

discusses drawings versus prints, the audacity of the artist’s vocation — together with why he doesn’t believe inwards ‘the thought of success’

"my go is non showing off, non grandiose, - human things..."

"This for y'all is my basis to expect at" - Wayne Thiebaud

• On ArtNet - y'all tin run across lots if unlike industrial plant past times him - from drawings together with paintings to fine fine art prints (etchings, linocuts together with lithographs)
• There are fifty-fifty to a greater extent than on Wayne Thiebaud on Artsy where y'all tin evidently run across 291 industrial plant of prints, paintings, drawings and works on paper 

Thumbnails of Cakes past times Wayne Thiebaud

• Many cheers to Artsy for doing their categorisation of his art. These are 
• the Thiebaud Cakes 
• the Thiebaud Ice Cream - together with then many unlike ways to describe a cone!
• The Thiebaud Lollipops
• the Thiebaud Cityscapes - I decease along getting echoes of Charles Rennie MackIntosh together with the agency he drew landscapes amongst an emphasis on work together with quite stylised colour. This ane - of "Valley Streets" - is inwards the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
• I'd purchase ane - but I can't afford him - although doubtless my investment would increase inwards value! 

Though Thiebaud is most frequently grouped amongst the Pop art displace for his dependent area matter, the creative somebody considers himself “just an quondam fashioned painter,” together with “not a bill of fare carrying Pop artist.” He remains best known for his still lifes of confections—sometimes painted from his ain memories—which he considers interpretations of “Americanness.” In his works, objects together with their shadows are characteristically outlined inwards multiple colors, creating a visual number Thiebaud calls akin to vibration.

• Wikipedia every bit per green provides a useful overview of his life together with work. According to ane work - 

he apprenticed at Walt Disney Studios drawing "in-betweens" of Goofy, Pinocchio, together with Jiminy Cricket at a charge per unit of measurement of $14 a week

• but Wikipedia patch non deleting this would similar a citation! 
• According to the Smithsonian Wayne Thiebaud Is Not a Pop Artist - which is worth a read

In a contemporary fine art basis enthralled amongst such stunts every bit Damien Hirst’s diamond-encrusted skull, Thiebaud is wonderfully ungimmicky.

I intend I similar him because 

• he's both ordinary together with original, 
• of the optical mixing he does (which I also do), 
• of his potent emphasis on work - which I similar a lot, 
• his mightiness to last figurative together with abstract at the same time
• and the fact that when he paints his pigment is LUSH! His lush cream pies also sold for $4 million!

There are other affinities? Did I yell I bring been known to acquire circular sketching food (and people eating together with drinking) - a lot?!

and finally......

Did y'all know Wayne Thiebaud is 98 years old? (he was born on fifteen Nov 1920!)
