Morton Wayne Thiebaud (Thibault)
Morton Wayne Thiebaud war ein US-amerikanischer Maler und bedeutender Vertreter der amerikanischen Pop Art.
Morton Wayne Thiebaud was an American painter known for his colorful works depicting commonplace objects — pies, lipsticks, paint cans, ice cream cones, pastries, and hot dogs — as well as for his landscapes and figure paintings. Thiebaud is associated with the pop art movement because of his interest in objects of mass culture, although his early works, executed during the fifties and sixties, slightly predate the works of the classic pop artists. Thiebaud used heavy pigment and exaggerated colors to depict his subjects, and the well-defined shadows characteristic of advertisements are almost always included in his work.
