Cakes

Artist: Wayne Thienaud

Title: Cakes

Date: 1963

Medium: Oil on Canvas 

Currently: National Gallery of Art, Washington

Source: http://www.nga.gov/content/ngaweb/Collection/art-object-page.72040.html

Description: This is an oil painting of cakes. Colors are light and stand out from the neutral background. 

Analysis: The main geometric shape shown is the circle. The cakes and stands a both circles. The designs on the cake display emotion.The cakes cast a shadow on the floor showing where the light is coming from. The pattern is in the rows of cakes. One is a row of 4, then a row of 5, and the last a row of 4. 

Interpretation: I believe this piece was created for a party or some sort of celebration. The light colors and curvy and swirled lines display a happy emotion. 

Judgement : I believe the cakes clearly get the artists point across of a celebration. I feel drawn to the cakes specifically in this work because there is much emphasis on them.
