Sweets & Treats: Wayne Thiebaud in the Collection of the Norton Simon Museum presents a selection of prints created by the artist in the 1960s. Although Thiebaud is primarily known for his thickly textured paintings depicting angel-food cake topped with creamy frosting, the artworks in Sweets & Treats show us a different side to his artistic practice by shedding the texture of his oils and engaging the imagery only in the print format.In addition to pastries, Thiebaud has painted landscapes, streetscapes, and popular characters such as Mickey Mouse. His recent paintings such as Sunset Streets (1985) and Flatland River (1997) are noted for their hyper realism, and are in some ways similar to Edward Hopper's work, who was fascinated with mundane scenes from everyday American life.
