Description
Wayne Thiebaud Draftsman is a fascinating study of the artist's drawings, published with his cooperation. Best known for his paintings of pies and ice-cream cones, American artist Wayne Thiebaud has been an avid draftsman since the 1940s. This book explores the wide range of Thiebaud's production on paper, including early sketches, luminous pastels, and charcoal drawings made in connection with his teaching. The book features 116 drawings compiled with the full cooperation of the artist to accompany a major new exhibition at the Morgan Library Museum. Thiebaud's drawings endow everyday scenes with a sense of poetry and nostalgia, ranging from deli counters and isolated figures to dramatic views of San Francisco's streets. Fully illustrated and beautifully designed, with illuminating texts including an extensive interview with the artist. This is the first major publication devoted to Thiebaud's lifelong engagement with drawing, offering a unique insight into his artistic process and technique.
