This book examines the extraordinary career of Wayne Thiebaud (1920 2021) and highlights his iconic representations of everyday scenes. Born in Mesa, Arizona, Thiebaud s formative years in Southern California and his long-term residence in Northern California crucially influenced his work. Renowned for his vibrant portrayals of commonplace objects dessert pastries, bow ties, paint cans, and hot dogs as well as his figure studies and landscapes, Thiebaud is reexamined through the lens of his lifelong engagement with historical and contemporary art movements, as well as his California surroundings. The radical realism of Thiebaud treats its subjects isolated still life objects, decontextualized people, and skewed landscapes unnaturally, keeping them familiar but disturbingly distorted. Essays offer fresh perspectives on how Thiebaud s work infuses familiar scenes with both humor and depth, while capturing the dramatic spirit of the region. Thiebaud s teaching career and the influence of California s unique light, culture, and landscape on his art are also explored, offering a comprehensive understanding of how place and profession shaped his creative vision.
