As far as I know, this is the only available publication on Thiebaud. The book covers the artist's career from his early pastries paintings to his recent large-scale landscapes. It also enables the reader to discover less "typical" works, like the portraits of his wife.
However, what makes... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

This book contains art by Rackstraw Downes which is more likely to be taken for photographs than the paintings that they are.
