The artist chose to render these four slices of cherry- topped cake as bold monochrome wedges. The white of the sheet plays a crucial role, working with the black ink to create form, pattern and a play between positive and negative space. Although influenced by artists such as Paul Cezanne, Thiebaud's still life depict the objects of his time, especially those found in the diners and shops of 1960s America.
