Wayne Thiebaud: 70 Years of Painting is a survey of this major American painter’s work. In addition to Thiebaud’s popular paintings and works on paper, the exhibition features both his most recent and his earliest work and thus reveals the full spectrum of his career.
More than a third of the paintings were done after his last retrospective in 2000: included as well are prodigal paintings Thiebaud made as a young student. Curator Gene Cooper will highlight the artist’s “beach painting,” a subject that has become increasingly important to Thiebaud of late.
The picture shows Wayne Thiebaud, Bakery Case, 1996, Oil on canvas, 60 x 72 inches, Thiebaud Family Collection. -- www.sjmusart.org
