Wayne Thiebaud: A Book of Postcards

Thirty color reproductions bound in a handy postcard collection. Oversized postcards measure 6½ x 4¾ in.

Instantly recognizable for their sensuous texture and warm, luminous palette, Wayne Thiebaud s images of cakes, pies, and other everyday objects brought him to international prominence in the 1960s. His food paintings explore society s fascination with, and ritualistic treatment of, certain culinary items; Thiebaud (American, b. 1920) paints what he has called the tattletale signs of our culture.

Thiebaud s formidable talents run to a wide range of other subjects, including figure studies, aerial landscapes, and eerily vertiginous cityscapes. This book of postcards reproduces thirty fine products of Wayne Thiebaud s skewed, sweet-natured, quietly dramatic sensibility.

Pomegranate s books of postcards contain up to thirty top-quality reproductions bound together in a handy, artful collection. Easy to remove and produced on heavy card stock, these stunning postcards are a delight to the sender and receiver. Postcards are oversized and may require additional postage.
