A few years ago, I discovered the art of Wayne Thiebaud. Best known for his pop art treatment of cafeteria style foods...cakes, ice cream, pies, hamburgers, hot dogs...he captured these everyday objects that can be found "anywhere in this country [the USA], but only in this country". Many of Thiebaud's paintings of show a fascination with basic shapes and forms, and orderliness of arrangement of these forms.
Thiebaud is still living, and continues to influence artists today. There has been a resurgence in interest in a realistic portrayal of everyday objects, captured in isolation; many of the leading artists of this genre credit Thiebaud as an instrumental influence on their work.
