Again Wayne Thiebaud was on a world of his own when it came to pop art in the 1950s and 60s as he created a new movement and style of art which was previously thought to appear strange to society at that time. Although there weren't any specific characteristics of the art movement at that time, Wayne certainly had his own style. His notorious artwork displayed above called the "Cake Window," illustrates how he uses bright lights in his painting. In addition he frequently use thick paint to add more texture to his pastries in the above image.
