Like many artists, Thiebaud has held on to some of the best examples of his work from every period. The book also includes his most recent work up to 2012â€”at 91, Thiebaud is still working from his studio in Sacramento.With more than ninety color illustrations, this book and the exhibition it documentsâ€”put together by noted art historian John Wilmerdingâ€”reveal the painter to be preoccupied with a larger slice of American life.
