Original aquatint with softground etching and drypoint printed in colors on Somerset Satin wove paper. Trial proof impression, apart from the numbered edition of 60, annotated in pencil lower left. Sheet size: 77.5 x 103.5 cm (30 1/2 x 40 3/4 in) Image size: 55.2 x 80.3 cm (21 3/4 x 31 5/8 in) Frame size: 91.8 x 115.3 x 4.8 cm (36 1/8 x 45 3/8 x 1 7/8 in)// Country City is one of Thiebaud's most celebrated compositions, capturing the dramatic collision of rural landscape and urban geometry that defines the Sacramento region. On the left, a steep brown hillside crowned with pink-red trees drops away vertiginously; on the right, a dense grid of city blocks, rooftops, and facades rises in saturated colour. The aquatint, softground etching, and drypoint technique yields extraordinary textural richness, from the velvety earth tones of the hillside to the crisp architectural lines of the cityscape. This is a major work from the artist's most sought-after period, embodying the exhilarating tension between nature and civilisation that makes his vision so distinctive and enduring.

What is figurative art?
Sometimes known as Figurativism, figurative art refers to sculptures and paintings that are clearly or specifically derived from real objects, making them representational. The term figurative art is often used in contrast to abstract art. However, since the emergence of abstract art, figurative art has come to describe any form of modern art that has strong references to the real world or actual situations.
