Three Machines, Wayne Thiebaud

Puzzle size 63.5 x 50.8cm Three Machines 1963 Wayne Thiebaud b.1920 Exquisitely composed and luminous of palette, Wayne Thiebaud's images of cakes, pies, sweets and other ubiquitous shop-bought foods are meditations on what he has called the 'tattletale signs' of our culture. Thiebaud turns a formidable talent on diverse other subjects such as figure studies, 'aerial' landscapes and vertiginous cityscapes, but the gumball machines reproduced here bring us back to his pensive, good-humoured preoccupation with the sweet stuff of American life.
