Wayne Thiebaud

Famous for his lush early ’60s paintings of cakes and other sweets, this retrospective of Wayne Thiebaud is the definitive book on the seminal American artist. Published on the occasion of an exhibition of the same title, Wayne Thiebaud: A Retrospective is the first major survey in twelve years of the work of one of the most original and accomplished American artists. This large-format book is a retrospective of his work from the 1960s to today, with numerous works coming from the artist’s collection. Like many artists, Thiebaud has held on to some of the best examples of his work from every period. The book also includes his most recent work up to 2012—at 91, Thiebaud is still working from his studio in Sacramento. With more than ninety color illustrations, this book and the exhibition it documents—put together by noted art historian John Wilmerding—reveal the painter to be preoccupied with a larger slice of American life.

Maine provided sensational sunsets, robust waves crashing on rocky shores, and an abundance of wilderness well suited to Frederic Church's artistic vision. Maine Sublime brings together all of the Maine artwork in the Olana collection.

A catalog of the first exhibition dedicated to the Still Lifes of Raphaelle Peale, Still Life was his greatest effort and most significant contribution to posterity. R. Peale was America's first professional still life painter and one of the finest artists of the new nation. The exhibition was organized by the National Gallery of Art and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.
