This publication accompanies the first museum show of his work in the United Kingdom. Throughout his long life, working mainly in Sacramento, California, Thiebaud developed a unique style of painting to express his vision of modern American subjects. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This publication will present Thiebaud's remarkable, vibrant and lushly painted still lives of quintessentially post-war American subjects, from diner food and deli counters to gumball dispensers and pinball machines. These are the paintings that established Thiebaud's name in the USA in the early 1960s. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Thiebaud considered the everyday objects of American life to be a vital subject for contemporary art, and he saw his work as continuing the radical legacy of earlier still-life paintings by Chardin, Manet, Cezanne and others. Thiebaud believed in the importance of commonplace objects that might otherwise be overlooked or considered kitsch. His work turns hot dogs, lemon meringue pies and glossy cream cakes into the stuff of profound modern painting. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Published by Paul Holberton Publishing \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Courtauld Gallery, London\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e (10 October 2025-18 January 2026) \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDr Barnaby Wright\u003c\/b\u003e is Deputy Head of the Courtauld Gallery, London, and the Daniel Katz Curator of 20th-century art. \u003cb\u003eDr Karen Serres\u003c\/b\u003e is Senior Curator of Paintings at the Courtauld Gallery, London. \u003cb\u003eDr Chloe Nahum\u003c\/b\u003e is the Bridget Riley Art Foundation Curatorial Fellow at the Courtauld Gallery, London.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 168\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.77 x 10.36 x 10.13 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 13, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44996307124326,"sku":"9781913645892","price":48.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/YtdxE6W1yf9781913645892.webp?v=1773139716","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/wayne-thiebaud-american-still-life-hardcover","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
