Provenance / HistoryCrackers, 2005. This limited edition print was created by Wayne Thiebaud as an edition of 800 for the Amuse Bouche Wine of Napa Valley. Each print was only available with the purchase of a case of the 2005 Amuse Bouche Wine The print is also used as the label on the 2005 vintage. For the wine, a new artist is chosen each vintage to create a custom painting to be used on the label, making these prints highly collectable.
Each lithograph is handcrafted by a Paris Atelier on Rives paper with 19th century press.
All the Lithographs are numbered.
The prints and wine are the brainchild of John Schwartz, in partnership with winemaker Heidi Barrett of Screaming Eagle fame. Due to the quality and limited production of the wine and prints, each vintage sells out. These are beautifully created lithographs.

Wayne Thiebaud - United States

Art Brokerage: Wayne Thiebaud American Artist: b. 1920. Wayne Thiebaud (born November 15, 1920 Blue Chip Artist,) is an American painter whose most famous works are of cakes, pastries, boots, toilets, toys and lipsticks. His last name is pronounced "Tee-bo." He is associated with the Pop art movement because of his interest in objects of mass culture, although his works, executed during the fifties and sixties, slightly predate the works of the classic pop artists. Thiebaud uses heavy pigment and exaggerated colors to depict Thiebaud's subjects, and the well-defined shadows characteristic of advertisements are almost always included in his work. Thiebaud was born to Mormon parents in Mesa, Arizona, U.S.A.. His family moved to Long Beach, California when he was six months old. One summer during his high school years he apprenticed at the Walt Disney Studio. The next summer Thiebaud studied at a Los Angeles trade school. He earned a degree from Sacramento State College in 1941. From 1938 to 1949, he worked as a cartoonist and designer in California and New York. Listings wanted.
