Created on the occasion of the exhibition Wayne Thiebaud: Art Comes from Art on view at the Legion of Honor museum, this exclusive boxed set of 20 notecards features 5 images, 4 of each design, with accompanying envelopes. Featuring Three Machines, 1963; 35 Cent Masterworks, 1970-1972; Betty Jean and Book, 1965-1969; Cakes and Pies, 1995; and Day Streets, 1996. Made in the USA. Each card measures 5 x 7 in. Although artist Wayne Thiebaud (1920-2021) earned acclaim for his poetic renderings of the prosaic particulars of American life, he openly admitted "It's hard for me to think of artists who weren't influential on me, because I'm such a blatant thief." The exhibition Wayne Thiebaud: Art Comes from Art features nearly sixty of this quintessentially American artist's virtuosic appropriations and reinterpretations of old and new European and American artworks, thus offering crucial insights into his creative process.
