Wayne Thiebaud is a Bay Area Icon! Whether he’a painting figures, landscapes or his famous cakes and pastries, his subject is really about form and color and light and his thick, painterly painterly impastos.
He’ll be speaking at tonights’ Burt and Deedee McMurty Lecture, Wayne Thiebaud: Painted World, at CEMEX Auditorium hosted by The Anderson Collection at Stanford University!
