New York, NY, April 16, 2018 — Best known for his rich, colorful paintings of cakes, ice cream
cones, and candy counters, California artist Wayne Thiebaud (b. 1920) has been an avid and
prolific draftsman since he began his career as an illustrator and cartoonist. Featuring subjects
that range from deli counters and solitary figures to dramatic views of San Francisco’s plunging
streets, Thiebaud’s drawings endow the most common objects and everyday scenes with a
sense of poetry and nostalgia.
Opening at the Morgan Library & Museum on May 18, Wayne Thiebaud,
Draftsman is the first exhibition to explore the full scope of the artist’s works on paper, including quick sketches,
finished pastels, watercolors, and charcoal drawings. The earliest of the almost eighty-five
works on view are cartoons from the 1940s, while the most recent feature landscape drawings
inspired by the Sacramento River valley. The show will run through September 23.
“The Morgan is delighted to present this groundbreaking exhibition,” said Colin B. Bailey,
director of the museum. “Understanding the importance of drawing in Wayne Thiebaud’s career
is fundamental to understanding his art and his artistic development. Throughout the exhibition,
Thiebaud’s ability to find inspiration in the prosaic and familiar is on vivid display. The Morgan is
deeply grateful to the artist for his cooperation in the organization of the exhibition and for his
generosity in agreeing to lend so many works to it.”
