Wayne Thiebaud

Wayne Thiebaud's signature celebration of everyday American consumer culture is rendered here in the bold, graphic language of woodcut printmaking, capturing his iconic imagery of confections and diner foods with vivid, flat planes of colour. The Tosa Koza paper provides a delicate yet sturdy foundation that allows the rich, saturated hues to resonate with warmth and tactile depth. Thiebaud's masterful use of thick, defined contours and luscious colour fields translates seamlessly into this traditional printmaking medium, retaining the cheerful, almost nostalgic sensibility that defines his celebrated body of work.
