Color lithograph on paper; // Neapolitan Pie by Wayne Thiebaud, created in 1990, is a lithograph that captures the artist’s characteristic approach to commonplace objects with a playful yet thoughtful lens. The composition centers on a round slice of Neapolitan ice cream, meticulously rendered with soft pastel tones of chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry layers, resting on a plate. Thiebaud’s use of subtle shadowing and texture emphasizes the three-dimensionality of the dessert, giving it a tactile presence. Known for his fascination with everyday Americana, Thiebaud elevates a simple dessert to a contemplative object, merging nostalgia with precision in a minimalist yet warm portrayal.

What is pop-art?
Pop Art is an art movement that began in Britain in 1955 and in the late 1950s in the U.S. It challenged traditional fine arts by incorporating imagery from popular culture, such as news, advertising, and comic books. Pop Art often isolates and recontextualizes materials, combining them with unrelated elements. The movement is more about the attitudes and ideas that inspired it than the specific art itself. Pop Art is seen as a reaction against the dominant ideas of Abstract Expressionism, bringing everyday consumer culture into the realm of fine art.
