March theme: When Life Gives You Lemons... WAYNE THIEBAUD (1920 – 2021), “Cut Meringues”, 1961. Museum of Modern Art, New York City US. #arthistory #art #Lemons #PopArt
MO Wayne Thiebaud was the G.O.A.T. at capturing the essence of delicious food products. His pies, cakes, ice creams, etc. are luscious and tempting: I can almost smell them! Best of all, zero calories. Thiebaud was a Californian, through and through, and his paintings capture the light and zeitgeist of 20th century living on the West Coast. Considered a Pop artist, Thiebaud’s subject matter is straightforward – like Warhol’s soup cans – but his handling of paint is not the usual Pop Art visual. Thiebaud used thickly applied paint to create painterly versions of delectable meringue pies in “Cut Meringues”. He used color – not quite black and not quite white – to create shadows and dimension and repetition to forge a geometric pattern that looks as good as it undoubtedly tastes. So maybe Thiebaud’s message to us is that when life gives you lemons, whip up some lemon meringue pies!
