WAYNE THIEBAUD (1920 - 2021 ) IS AN AMERICAN PAINTER WIDELY KNOWN FOR HIS LUSCIOUS HANDLING OF PAINT, AND BRILLIANT COLORFUL PALETTE OF WORKS DEPICTING COMMONPLACE OBJECTS THAT COMBINED SENSUOUSNESS, NOSTALGIA AND A HINT OF MELANCHOLY. THIEBAUD IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE POP ART MOVEMENT BECAUSE OF HIS INTEREST IN OBJECTS OF MASS CULTURE, ALTHOUGH HIS EARLY WORKS, EXECUTED DURING THE 1950'S AND 1960'S, SLIGHTLY PREDATE THE WORKS OF THE CLASSIC POP ARTISTS. THIEBAUD USES HEAVY PIGMENT AND EXAGGERATED COLORS TO DEPICT HIS SUBJECTS, AND THE WELL DEFINED SHADOWS CHARACTERISTIC OF ADVERTISEMENTS ARE ALMOST ALWAYS INCLUDED IN HIS WORK.
ARTWORKS BY THIEBAUD ARE INCLUDED IN THE PERMANENT COLLECTIONS OF MANY PRESTIGIOUS MUSEUMS INCLUDING THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY MUSEUM OF ART, THE WHITNEY MUSEUM OF AMERICAN ART, HIRSHHORN MUSEUM AND SCULPTURE GARDEN, THE SMITHSONIAN AMERICAN ART MUSEUM, THE ALBRIGHT - KNOX ART GALLERY, AND THE SAN FRANCISCO MUSEUM OF MODERN ART, AMONG MANY OTHERS.
