Wayne Thiebaud: Confections, Boxed Note Cards

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. The images selected for this note-card set concentrate on his skewed, good-humored, pensive take on the sweet stuff.
