L'œuvre Breakfast de Wayne Thiebaud, tirée à 50 exemplaires, témoigne du mélange caractéristique de l'artiste entre réalisme influencé par le pop et intimité picturale. Exécutée à la pointe sèche colorée, l'œuvre saisit le sujet simple d'un repas matinal avec une fraîcheur remarquable : les lignes de hachures adoucissent et estompent la composition, créant un effet pastel qui la distingue de la netteté de l'impression commerciale. Bien que légèrement délavée, l'impression conserve la sensibilité chromatique ludique et les ombres doucement modelées qui sont devenues les marques du style de Thiebaud.





Depuis le début des années 1960, Thiebaud a été célébré pour ses représentations de nourriture - gâteaux, tartes, machines à gommes et comptoirs de restaurants - représentées non pas comme des repas littéraux, mais comme des icônes culturelles, à la fois nostalgiques et idéalisées. Dans Breakfast, le modeste repas est transformé en un sujet de contemplation et de plaisir, célébrant les plaisirs de la vie quotidienne américaine tout en évoquant la mémoire et le désir. La combinaison de la précision et de l'informalité témoigne de la capacité de Thiebaud à fusionner l'immédiateté du dessin avec la résonance durable de la peinture.





La reconnaissance institutionnelle de l'importance de l'œuvre se reflète dans son inclusion dans la National Gallery of Art, à Washington, affirmant son rôle dans le projet plus large de Thiebaud d'élever des objets communs au rang d'images d'une importance culturelle durable.
