  • Catalogue Essay

    “I took three basic shapes to work with: a rectangle, an ellipse or a circle and a triangle. Well, that’s a piece of pie. A piece of pie is a triangle on a saucer… I chose a pie for a couple of reasons; because of its basic shape and because I had never seen a pie painted.” - Wayne Thiebaud
