I've fallen in love with Wayne Thiebaud's paintings. Whenever I see one of his garish paintings of confectionery delights I begin to hyperventilate (mentally) and I feel as if everything is good and happy in the world. I get so excited and giddy I fear that I may start foaming at the mouth. I'm falling in love all over again. That's how amazing he is.
Thiebaud seems to paint predominately two types of subjects; cakes and confectioneries, or city-streetscape. I adore the cakes and the pies, but I have the most love for his city-streetscapes. It's simply stunning.
Oh look at the colour! The vibrancy! The texture! The contrast! And the flagrant breaking of composition rules. <3 These images here do not do justice to the real paintings in life, but it gives you an idea. I've decided that the next book I purchase -after Genesis- shall be a Wayne Thiebauld book.
P.S. - click images for full view or die.
