Specialist note

“His objects are nuggets of nostalgia, encoding fond memories from his youth but also aspects of American life meaningful to a great many of us."
(S. A. Nash, "Unbalancing Acts: Wayne Thiebaud Reconsidered,” Wayne Thiebaud: A Paintings Retrospective, exh. cat., Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, 2000, p. 35)
