WHO IS WAYNE THIEBAUD?

Wayne Thiebaud was born in 1920, and grew up during the Great Depression. He is known for creating works based on objects and memories from his childhood such as ice cream cones and candy apples. He became famous for using his paints in new ways to recreate not only the look, but the feel of the items in his paintings.

Thiebaud recently turned 100 years old this past November! Check out this great video in conversation with Kathan Brown about Thiebaud's famed techniques, and his incredible career.
