Joan - thanks Beatrice for these light breaks. A striking record - I'll remember the colourful pies, and

the figures (quick snack) and interesting to hear of the long lived painter, Wayne Thiebaud

Superb - light, witty, and informative, though I must admit I would never purchase one of Thiebaud's paintings to adorn one of my own walls. Thank you.

I'm a native Californian, graphic designer and artist (fine arts at UCLA), and very familiar with Thiebaud's work. A close friend schooled under him at UC Davis. It's fascinating to see Thiebaud through the eyes of a sophisticated European art historian.

I'm mostly drawn to his landscapes, as they are almost contemporaneous with those of Richard Diebenkorn, who, hands down, is the most renown and beloved of Californian contemporary artists.

Thank you - you've introduced me to a new painter, with a lovely engaging commentary. The Pie Rows is very eye catching.
