Cakes and Pies 1995

Wayne Thiebaud’s "Cakes and Pies" (1995) is a vibrant still life depicting a variety of sweet treats arranged on a counter. The artist is known for his depictions of everyday objects, particularly food, and his use of bold colors and thick paint application.

This painting captures the allure and satisfaction associated with indulgence, presenting a visually enticing display of cakes and pies with an almost photographic realism.
