FOUR CUPCAKES "Wayne Thiebaud 1971"

Acrylic and paper mache on canvas / panel

16"h x 27.75"w x 4"d

Thiebaud’s Four Cupcakes reflects his fascination with everyday objects rendered with unusual care, turning a simple dessert into a composed study of color, form, and texture. In Stephen Hansen’s Great Moments in Art, his three-dimensional painter stands beside the composition with a tiny cupcake in hand, while a miniature table of cupcakes and a paint bucket complete the scene, as if the sweetness itself has become part of the performance.
