Cake Slices — Fine Art

Cake Slices - 1963 shows stacks of wedge shapes arranged on a flat sheet. Wayne Thiebaud paints each cut with a thick edge of paint. The colours sit in clear bands, with cream, pink and brown keeping the forms apart. The strokes move across the surface without blending.

This fine art print is ready to hang on arrival. The print arrives ready to hang, with a metal hanger fitted to the back that goes straight onto a nail or screw. No separate frame to buy. You carry it from the box to the wall without finding extra parts.

It fits a hallway wall where the light comes low. You notice the layered edges of the slices first, then the clean bands of paint behind them. The metal hanger holds it level without a frame.
