Gift Box 1971

Wayne Thiebaud's "Gift Box" from 1971 exemplifies the artist's signature style of painting everyday objects with an almost exaggerated sense of three-dimensionality. The painting depicts a simple gift box, rendered in a palette of cool colors and delicate hues. The focus on the box, a symbol of simple pleasures, is characteristic of Thiebaud's exploration of the everyday American experience, often seen through the lens of Pop art.
