5.0

So much delight in one slim book! In Delicious author Susan Goldman Rubin introduces the work of contemporary artist Wayne Thiebaud, best known for his large canvases filled with desserts. Thiebaud's bright paintings are a reflection of his personality: "I was a spoiled child. I had a great life, so about the only thing I can do is to paint happy pictures." As Rubin unfolds the story, we learn that Thiebaud worked hard, practiced his art, and shared his wisdom freely. Rubin also brings out the depth of thinking and creativity behind these seemingly simple canvases. Finally, the gorgeous bright book design is just a joy to read, hold, look at. Delicious is truly a sumptuous treat!
