Through paintings like these, he captured the abundance of 1960s America. Alongside Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, and others, he was regarded as one of the leading Pop artists of his era. (Yonhap News, Pop artist Wayne Thiebaud, who painted sweetness, passes away) Thiebaud himself, though, never much liked Pop Art, nor did he agree with being labeled a Pop artist. He passed away at his home on December 25, 2021, at the age of 101, leaving behind countless sweet works — cakes, ice cream, and more. His painting Breakfast is a scene I'd always wanted to recreate someday. Two sunny-side-up eggs, three strips of bacon
