Wayne Thiebaud: Homecoming includes iconic edibles—work that linked high art with popular culture—alongside pieces that showcase Thiebaud’s skill in rendering the human figure and the California landscape. Among the latter are river-delta views from the Sacramento area, cityscapes from San Francisco, and beach scenes from Southern California. The works attest to the artist’s ability to sensuously manipulate pigment and capture clear light and vibrant color, demonstrating Thiebaud’s technical virtuosity and tongue-in-cheek humor.
