Cakes — Fine Art

Cakes - 1963 by Wayne Thiebaud shows a row of cakes on a counter. The pastel icing and bright fillings sit on a plain background. Thick paint builds up on the tops and sides. The picture reads like a row of sweets ready to be sold.

This fine art print sits inside a frame with a back panel. The matte surface keeps the sugary colours flat and even, so the painted texture holds its shape without shine.

It fits well above a kitchen counter near a small lamp. From the doorway you see the stacked tops first, then the neat rows as you step closer.
