Although artist Wayne Thiebaud (1920-2021) earned acclaim for his poetic renderings of the prosaic particulars of American life, he openly admitted "It's hard for me to think of artists who weren't influential on me, because I'm such a blatant thief." The exhibition Wayne Thiebaud: Art Comes from Art features nearly sixty of this quintessentially American artist's virtuosic appropriations and reinterpretations of old and new European and American artworks, thus offering crucial insights into his creative process.
