Lemon Meringue Pie — Fine Art

Yellow lemon curd rises over a white meringue topping against a plain ground. Strong shadows sit under the plate and the filling. The paint builds in thick blocks of colour. Wayne Thiebaud painted this dessert scene in a pop art style. Lemon Meringue Pie - 1964 keeps the colours bright and simple.

This is a fine art print set in a frame with a back panel. The matte surface softens the yellow and white so they do not shine under a lamp. You see the painted edges when you stand near the wall.

Hang it on a kitchen wall above the counter. From the sink you notice the round plate and the bright yellow filling. The shadows ground the plate on the plain field.
