About the Item

The images in Wayne Thiebaud's drypoints fill the space around them, carving into it. They are images of mountains. In one, only the mountaintop shows and a gigantic cloud is in the process of expanding into the entire sky. In another there seem to be forest fires; smoke plumes drift from behind a towering rock that rises from a ridge lined with minuscule trees, rooftops, maybe farms. Two images are of precipitous mountainsides, tiny trees holding their own. And one is a whole mountain, solidly angular against a cloud encircling its peak. "There's nothing really that I've ever found in other lines that is like an etched line--its fidelity, the richness of it, the density you just don't get that any other way." Wayne Thiebaud has long been recognized as one of America’s most prominent modern artists. Probably best known for his straightforward, deadpan still-life paintings of the 1960s, and traditionally linked with Pop Art, Thiebaud is identified by his brilliant palette, luscious handling of paint, and the intensity of light that lends a particularly ‘California’ flavor to his images. Derived from a dialogue between realism and abstrac- tion, seriousness and wit, sensuous pleasure and rigor- ous form, Thiebaud’s art immerses viewers in the magic by which paint transforms itself into the things being described and back again. In addition to his well-known paintings of pies and cakes, contents of delicatessen counters, and oth- er consumer goods, Thiebaud has also painted figure stud- ies, cityscapes with vertiginous plunges that restructure space and perspective, and dramatically abstracted landscapes.
