This book of 116 drawings—compiled with the full cooperation of the artist to accompany a major new exhibition at the Morgan Library Museum—explores the wide range of Thiebaud’s production on paper, including early sketches, luminous pastels, and watercolors, and charcoal drawings made in connection with his teaching. In subjects ranging from deli counters and isolated figures to dramatic views of San Francisco’s plunging streets, Thiebaud’s drawings endow the most banal, everyday scenes with a sense of poetry and nostalgia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFully illustrated and beautifully designed, with illuminating texts, including an extensive interview with the artist, \u003ci\u003eWayne Thiebaud: Draftsman\u003c\/i\u003e is the first major publication devoted to his lifelong engagement with drawing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames \u0026 Hudson","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42820743397456,"sku":"9780500021897B","price":20.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8173\/5760\/files\/9780500021897-l.jpg?v=1785880957","url":"https:\/\/bookoutlet.com\/en-ca\/products\/wayne-thiebaud-draftsman-9780500021897b","provider":"Book Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
