NOTES
Known for his renderings of luscious cakes, candies, and other popular consumables, artist Wayne Thiebaud offers a meditation on the nature of one of his favorite artistic mediums—oil pastel. His playful composition of scattered pastels leads the eye through a spectrum of color. The deep blue shadows cast by the cylindrical forms transform the white of the paper into the top of a drawing table.
