2 Meet the Artist: Pg. 2 Wayne Thiebaud, PAINTER Born: November 15, 1920 Was born in Mesa, Arizona in 1920 and worked as an animator for Disney at the age of 16. His use of single and multiple images of mass produced American foods which have linked him with Pop Art, yet he considers himself a realist painter.

3 ln addition to still life paintings, his subject matter has included figures, landscapes and cityscapes. Pg. 3 Four Ice Cream Cones is owned by the Phoenix Art Museum. He has received numerous honors for his work, most notably the National Medal of Arts, presented to him by President William J. Clinton in a 1994 ceremony at the White House. About the Art: 1. Four large luscious ice cream cones line up on the counter of an ice cream parlor. 2. The cone holder is defined by narrow bands of color that extend horizontally to the edge of the painting. 3. The holder contains four brown cones each with two scoops of ice cream. 4. The artist chooses soft, pale colored ice cream in direct contrast to the bright blue shadows cast on the holder. 5. By thick heavy oil paint and using rapid brush strokes it resulted into a rich creamy texture of the ice cream. 6. The artist s great interest was in painting the objects as realistic as they appear in life.

4 Pg. 4 Possible Questions: 1. Why do you think the artist chose ice cream cones? 2. What shapes do you see? Do they repeat themselves? 3. What do you think the ice cream cones would feel like if you could touch them? 4. How does this make you feel? Hungry? Thirsty? Happy? Cold? 5.
