You won’t get much farther than this in art criticism without stumbling upon Thiebaud’s name. The man who painted more cakes than anyone else deserves all the credit for that.
From **Betty Jean Thiebaud and Book** 📚 to **Display Cakes**, every painting feels like a hidden treasure waiting to be discovered. His early figurative work, especially **Woman in Tub**, 🤯 makes you question everything you know about art history.
His cakes are as much about the people he paints as they are about the food on display. 🍪✨ The connection between his art and Degas’s imagery? It feels inevitable.
The exhibition also pays homage to **Jules Antoine Watteau**, the famous commedia dell’arte artist, with his famous white businessman ✅. But here, it’s not just about style—it’s a deeper dive into the cultural and historical roots of this beloved art form.
