Conte Crayon on paper - Two-sided drawing - Not signed - Publications: California, John Natsoulas Center for the Arts, 90 years of Thiebaud, October-November 2019 // Wayne Thiebaud's Untitled (Sketch of Sitting Figures) is a delicate and minimal drawing executed in conte crayon on paper.

What is late modernism?
Late Modernism refers to the continuation and evolution of Modernist principles in art, architecture, and literature from the mid-20th century into the late 20th century. This movement maintains a focus on form, abstraction, and the rejection of traditional styles, but it often incorporates more complexity and ambiguity compared to early Modernism. Late Modernism explores themes such as alienation, identity, and the fragmentation of reality, reflecting the social and cultural shifts of the post-war period. It is seen in the works of architects like Louis Kahn and artists like Francis Bacon, who pushed the boundaries of Modernism while responding to the changing world around them.
