In remembrance of revered American artist Wayne Thiebaud who passed
away in 2021 at the age of 101, the definitive monograph of Wayne
Thiebaud's work is now available in a reformatted, accessibly priced
edition, including his last paintings.
This is the most comprehensive monograph to date on Wayne Thiebaud, with
new works added, in a reformatted size. Spanning the length of his
career from the 1950s to the present, the book has been made in close
collaboration with the artist. Thiebaud selected the works himself,
making the book an act of autobiography in a sense. At age 100, he looks
back over his life and his work, rich with breakthroughs in painting and
masterful individuality.
"Required reading for those who have a healthy appetite for provocative
art." --Bloomberg Business
"This comprehensive monograph of more than 200 illustrations can
literally be considered eye candy. American artist Wayne Thiebaud is
famed for his brightly colored canvases of cakes, diner pies, pastries,
ice cream cones, candy and brightly colored gumball machines. . . .
Whether still lifes or landscapes, Thiebaud's paintings are akin to
visual Prozac; you simply cannot be in a bad mood looking at them."
--Kansas City Magazine
"While Thiebaud is best known for his heavily pigmented still lifes of
cakes, pies, and candies, [this] book shows his broader range, from
vibrant landscapes depicting highways and farmland to portraits of
solitary figures. . . The texts examine Thiebaud's influences as well as
his impact on the art world and the individual viewers of his work."
