5.0 out of 5 stars One of Thiebaud's More Interesting Monographs, Feb 15 2006
By Grady Harp - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Vision and Revision (Paperback)
Wayne Thiebaud is best known for his paintings of edible delicacies and bizarre San Francisco landscapes and while his paintings of these subjects are difficult to find except in museums, Thiebaud spent considerable time at Crown Point Press in San Francisco creating etchings of the same concepts. Some of his fine art prints are pulled in multiple colors, but Thiebaud, being the creative mind he is, also complemented these with hand coloring the black and white artist proofs.

The results are then unique pieces, as each matrix of an image is enhanced by the artist with crayon, pastel, watercolor, charcoal, tempera, acrylic and oil blend with the printer's inks. These uniques are termed 'familial resemblances to the parent print' by the artist and this fine book offers a wide range of the results: cakes, candy apples, fruits, people, cityscapes, landscapes - some seventy odd images in all.

The monograph is accompanied by interesting essays including one by Robert Flynn Johnson - 'Illuminated Impressions: A Brief History of the Hand Colored Print' - which adds immensely to the appreciation for Thiebaud's art. There are a few of these books still available and the quality of the book whether in hard or soft back is so fine that this viewer would recommend your seeking a source. It is a delightful art book. Grady Harp, February 06
