This event has ended.
Jim Kempner Fine Art presents Wayne Thiebaud Cakes and ‘Scapes: A Selection of Rare, Unique and Hand-Colored Prints. The collection of work in this exhibition is a survey of Wayne Thiebaud’s dynamic hand-colored prints of delectable sweets and sloping landscapes.
Known for rendering decadent and pristinely organized desserts, Wayne Thiebaud is a seminal artist in post-war American art, lying at the vanguard of Pop Art and modern realism. The exhibit is intended as a small-scale retrospective of Wayne Thiebaud’s innovative printmaking methods, showcasing his trademark subject - American food- along with his images of San Fransico’s urban landscapes. Thiebaud was thoroughly interested in the beauty of transposing a painting to various print media, and the elements of chance, surprise, and continuity that existed in the practice. This exhibition showcases the unique images that came out of his well crafted investigations into various print practices.
