Bakery Counter — Fine Art

Bakery Counter - 1962 shows a row of pastries, cakes and trays lined up behind a counter. The paint sits in thick blocks, with cream, pink and brown leaning against a plain white ground. Wayne Thiebaud works in this style, laying colour down in solid shapes that read as food and metal.

This fine art print arrives ready to hang, with a metal hanger on the back that goes straight onto a nail or screw. No frame to buy. The flat surface holds the colour blocks without a shine, so the pink and cream stay readable under a lamp.

In a kitchen, the broad trays and stacked sweets sit above a busy counter. From the doorway you read the row of shapes first, then the small shadow lines at the base of each shelf.
