Whether still lifes or landscapes, ThiebaudÆs paintings are akin to visual Prozac; you simply cannot be in a bad mood looking at them.ö ùKansas City Magazine ôWhile Thiebaud is best known for his heavily pigmented still lifes of cakes, pies, and candies, [this] book shows his broader range, from vibrant landscapes depicting highways and farmland to portraits of solitary figures. . . The texts examine ThiebaudÆs influences as well as his impact on the art world and the individual viewers of his work.ö ùArchitectural Digest
