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. This simple, blue-toned sketch offers a glimpse into Thiebaud’s exploration of human figures and spatial relationships. The composition features a loosely rendered figure in the foreground, with additional figures faintly outlined in the background. The sketch's simplicity, devoid of any detailed features, leaves much to the viewer's interpretation while still evoking a sense of space and form. The use of soft, continuous lines reflects Thiebaud’s artistic sensibility and his ability to capture depth and movement with minimal marks. Though unsigned, this two-sided drawing was included in the 90 Years of Thiebaud exhibition at the John Natsoulas Center for the Arts, reflecting the ongoing appreciation of Thiebaud's unique vision and minimalist approach to figuration.

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.
