Wayne Thiebaud — Untitled (city Edge)
Wayne Thiebaud

Untitled (city Edge)

1988

Wayne Thiebaud's "Untitled (City Edge)" showcases his signature bold, graphic sensibility through a striking combination of pastel and watercolor applied over a color spit-bite aquatint. The work captures the dramatic, vertiginous geometry of an urban landscape, with sharply angled streets and densely packed buildings rendered in luminous, candy-like hues. Thiebaud's masterful layering of printmaking and drawing media creates a richly textured surface that balances precision with a warm, painterly spontaneity.

Medium
pastel and watercolor on color spit-bite aquatint
