Such a significant and popular painter as
Wayne Thiebaud, who is famous for his full-of-vivid-color still lifes of cakes and pies, contributed to the development of contemporary landscape art to a great extent. His pieces range from multidisciplinary to vessel-based, which reflects his extensive art career.
The public originally admired him for painting ordinary and familiar things in a new way. His landscapes often have cartoonish, distorted views and bright accented colors, which add an element of weirdness to representations of California territories. Including ''River and Farms'' and ''Flatland River", his realistic and recognizable paintings are like other-worldly dreams. Thiebaud's artwork, such as ''
San Francisco West Side Ridge'' and ''City Edge", depicts well his prowess in the use of angles and geometry.
